Barnard College has received upwards of 200 complaints from prospective students who hesitated to apply after viewing the requirement that applicants must “consistently live and identify as women.” She/theys around the country expressed feeling “slighted” by this requirement, as their desire to be part of the Barnard community was challenged by the administration’s definition of a woman.
Famous for its sensitivity to its students’ needs, Barnard has taken these concerns into consideration and is happy to announce that they will be creating the first American Non-Binary College (NBC): NBarnard! Che Diaz will serve as the inaugural president and oversee the implementation of the first two degree programs at the college, exclusive to NBarnard: DJ Studies and Septum Piercing Arts.
Barnard, which currently does not dissuade students from transitioning during their four years of enrollment, will now ask that students who may feel any “special urges” during their time at Barnard to quietly transfer to NBarnard, and will be adopting a stricter doctrine of gender-based admission.
In an interview with The Fed, Barnard president Laura Rosenbury expressed excitement for this change to take place. Smirking, she added, “Finally! The problems are GONE!”
