Final Remarks
The campus climate depends directly on the reactions of faculty, staff, and fellow students. While the transgender student themselves can be a source of information, it marginalizes the student when they are the only source of information. Colleges and universities need to incorporate the proper training for faculty, staff, and students, and continue a dialogue with the transgender community on campus to ensure that their educational and personal needs are met. There is a financial cost dependent on the changes needed, which would vary based on the college’s existing transgender support systems, but the cost is worth it in order to ensure that all students have a safe space to learn, live, and enjoy.
