(AP) – Restrooms on the top floor of the student union at
Missouri State University soon won’t be labeled for male or female use.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that the restrooms on the fourth floor of
Plaster Student Union will be “multi-stall gender neutral” beginning Monday.
On Nov. 18, large signs placed near the restroom entrances stated the change
will “allow anyone, at any time, to use either restroom.”
Restrooms on other floors will remain assigned by gender.
Missouri State President Clif Smart says the move is part of the university’s
ongoing effort to make people feel welcome. And he says it’s not a major change
since there have been 30 to 50 gender-neutral bathrooms across campus for some
time. He says those are sometimes referred to as family bathrooms.
