University of Cincinnatis Campus Services, Chief Diversity Officer and the LGBTQ Center are partnering to share a webinar, Transgender Students in College: Navigating Requirements, Accommodations and Avoiding Litigation that will present a clear understanding of the laws that apply to them regarding transgender students as well as the potential impact of executive actions and court decisions.
