Students and faculty at private colleges and universities will only be allowed to use facilities that align with the sex they were assigned at birth under a new Florida Board of Education rule.
These rules have been in place at public schools in the state since July 1st under the Safety in Private Spaces Act.
Under the new rule, private school students and faculty will join their public school peers in only being allowed to use facilities that align with the sex they were assigned at birth.
Emma Roy spoke out against the rule ahead of the vote. She said the rule only requires one unisex facility on campus, which is not enough for all LGBTQ people to share.
