"All-girls school in Calif. became first to admit transgenders. Now it's facing a financial reality check."

"Mills College, an all-girls school in Oakland, California, became the first all-girls school to begin admitting transgender males in 2014. Now the institution is facing financial backlash.
The school declared a “financial emergency” this week amid a massive budget shortfall, which college administrators said would lead to a round of layoffs.
According to Inside Higher Ed, Mills is currently running on a $9 million budget deficit, which equates to about 16 percent of the school’s $57 million annual budget. Because of the shortfall, Mills president Elizabeth Hillman expects to layoff about 35 faculty members — including tenured professors.
More from Inside Higher Ed:
The budget shortfall comes amid a decline in student applications for enrollment.
Prior to the transgender policy change in August 2014, the college received 1,827 student applications during the 2013-2014 academic school year, admitted 1,242 and enrolled 217. Just one year later, the school received only 839 student applications, admitted 639 and enrolled 139 students.
In 2014, the previously all-female college changed its undergraduate admissions policy to allow students who 'self-identify as female' to apply.
'Mills shall not discriminate against applicants whose gender identity does not match their legally assigned sex,' the school’s policy states.
'This includes students who were not assigned to the female sex at birth but live and identify as women at the time of application. It also includes students who are legally assigned to the female sex, but who identify as transgender or gender fluid,' the policy explains...
Meanwhile, Inside Higher Ed reports that the school is doubling down on their progressive leanings by implementing a curriculum change that focuses on 'gender and racial justice.'
According to Mills statistics, the school currently enrolls only 821 undergraduate students. Including room and board, it costs nearly $60,000 to attend the school each year."
