Daily Kent Stater: "April Templeman was pleasantly surprised when she saw that the sign on the family restroom on the third floor of the Student Center had been changed to read, 'unisex.'
Templeman, co-chair of the Queer Liberation Front, said she and other members have been talking with university administration about installing more unisex bathrooms to accommodate transgender students.
'I was really excited when I saw it,' she said. 'We went to the administration about this because it's something we've seen on other campuses, and we think it needs to be incorporated into our campus as well.'
Thomas Euclide, director of the Office of the University Architect, said although the department doesn't have the funding to put gender neutral bathrooms into every building on campus, all new designs and renovations will include at least one.
'Taylor Hall is the only building on campus with faculty bathrooms, and we're looking at ways to convert at least one of those into a unisex bathroom,' he said. 'We have grander plans, though.' "
