Gender Inclusive & Trans* Support Work Group

Done: menstrual product trials in men’s restrooms- SRC/Chinook/CUB
Done: a list of gender inclusive facilities across the system, on their respective campus website which are linked through lgbt.wsu.edu. This list will include access needs, ADA-accessible, elevator need, signage, changing stations, and menstrual products. Pullman’s is still in process due to website constraints.
Done: changes in building standards- all new WSU construction and all renovations from here on out will include a single user bathroom. This doesn’t include buildings that are already underway.
Bubbling: figuring out where we are missing gender inclusive facilities, figuring out how much it would cost to have free menstrual products across the system
Next: work on computer systems and their ability to communicate to each other (Blackboard & myWSU)
Objectives Completed:
- Update and review gender inclusive facilities listing available on all WSU campuses
- Review Spring 2017/Fall 2018 free product pilot program

Recognize some of the spaces on campus could be transformed through taller stalls and gapless doors
What would it look like if there were a form to submit “potential gender-inclusive bathrooms?”
Tier system
1. Tier 1- as soon as possible. The biggest concerns are the “front doors” to our institution that do not have a gender-inclusive bathroom. We imagine these spaces could include: Lighty Student Services/French Administration, Beasley Coliseum, etc.
2. Tier 2- after the Tier 1 spaces, these spaces would be buildings that do not have a gender-inclusive bathroom and there is not a gender-inclusive bathroom within a 5-minute commute (walk = ableist language; thoughts on other words?).
3. Tier 3- after the Tier 2 spaces, these spaces would be buildings that are on the ‘renovation’ list and in their remodel, we are requesting that they add a gender inclusive facility.
