Historically Black Women’s College will start accepting men

Desperate times calls for desperate measures.  Spellman College President Mary S. Campbell has fired off a letter announcing the all womens college will start accepting men.  Founded in 1881 as the Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary, Spelman was the fourth historically black female institution of higher education to receive its collegiate charter in 1924.  Georgia has become a mecca for the Black LGBT community.  As Blacks are coming to terms with those who self identify as another gender or are choosing to live a LGBT lifestyle, this could signal the beginning of Black acceptance.  Should a single sex school admit members of the opposite sex?

Spelman Admissions and Enrollment Policy Update

September 5, 2017


Dear Spelman Community:  

As we begin a new academic year, Spelman celebrates anew its unique capacity to provide high-quality education to high-achieving Black women. Our mission calls for us to graduate Spelman students who are global citizens, agents of meaningful social change and leaders in their field.

This academic year is particularly momentous. Spelman College is launching a new strategic plan that will guide the College for the next five years. In the weeks ahead, I will share highlights of our new vision. With the launch of our new plan, the College has taken stock of the competitive environment for institutions of higher education and also has given careful consideration to many of its policies, including its admissions and enrollment policies. Like same-sex colleges all over the country, Spelman is taking into account evolving definitions of gender identity in a changing world and taking steps to ensure that our policies and plans reflect those changes in a manner that is consistent with our mission and the law.

Our intent is always to be thoughtful and informed as we conduct our decision-making. To that end, during the 2016-2017 academic year, I assembled a task force comprised of faculty, staff, students, alumnae and trustees to consider the admissions and enrollment policies at Spelman as they apply to an evolving understanding and knowledge of gender. After a year of research, benchmarking against other single-sex women’s colleges, extensive listening sessions with students, faculty, staff and alumnae and surveys to the Spelman community, the task force made a set of recommendations to the president of the College and the Spelman College Board of Trustees.

As a result of this extensive study, I, as president, along with the Spelman leadership team, and the Board, concur on the following admissions and enrollment policy: Spelman College, a Historically Black College whose mission is to serve high-achieving Black women, will consider for admission women students including students who consistently live and self-identify as women, regardless of their gender assignment at birth. Spelman does not admit male students, including students who self-identify and live consistently as men, regardless of gender assignment at birth. If a woman is admitted and transitions to male while a student at Spelman, the College will permit that student to continue to matriculate at and graduate from Spelman.

In adopting this admissions policy, Spelman continues its fervent belief in the power of the Spelman Sisterhood. Students who choose Spelman come to our campus prepared to participate in a women’s college that is academically and intellectually rigorous, and affirms its core mission as the education and development of high-achieving Black women.

The admissions policy outlined above goes into effect for students enrolling for the 2018-2019 academic year. I have asked an implementation committee to convene this year to consider the impact on the campus resulting from the new policy.

I realize you may have many questions about this policy. Along with this letter, we have posted to our website a “Frequently Asked Questions” for your reference. As always, I, and members of the senior administrative staff–Provost, Sharon Davies; VP of Enrollment, Ingrid Hayes; VP of Student Affairs, Dr. Darnita Killian; VP of College Relations, Dr. Jane Smith; Secretary of the College, Dr. Terri Reed; and Dean of Students, Dr. Fran’Cee Brown-McClure — are available to answer questions that you might have. You can also email inquiries to [email protected].

In sisterhood,

Mary S. Campbell
President, Spelman College
