A private Catholic women’s college in Indiana has reversed plans to begin admitting male students who identify as women.

In June, St. Mary’s College changed its policies to state it would consider admission of undergraduate applicants “whose sex is female or who consistently live and identify as women.” The policy would have, in effect, allowed for males who identify as transgender to be admitted into the college, which is located across the street from Notre Dame University.
