Housing restrictions for transgender college students approved by Utah Legislature

  • Transgender college students in Utah will not be allowed to live in dorms that match their gender identity under a new bill that has passed the legislature.
  • Republican Governor Spencer Cox has expressed support for the bill, which passed with veto-proof margins in both legislative chambers.
  • The bill limits students to gendered spaces corresponding with their sex assigned at birth, although transgender students can live in single rooms in coed dorms.
  • Critics, including Rep. Sahara Hayes, argue that the legislation harms vulnerable individuals and violates privacy, while supporters claim it addresses the privacy needs of female students.
