Spring Arbor University says it “will not support persistent or conspicuous examples of cross-dressing or other expressions or actions that are deliberately discordant with birth gender.”

“We want the right to discriminate” -Spring Arbor University President

In February 2007, Spring Arbor University fired Julie Nemeck, an associate professor and assistant dean who had been at the university for 17 years, after she began her transition, and was forced to settle a suit after she filed a complaint to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Title IX exemptions from the U.S. Department of Education would give Spring Arbor University the legal framework to fire Nemeck if she still worked for the university without fear of reprisal.
