Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is leading 18 other Democratic attorneys general in calling for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services not to define the word "sex" as only either male or female.
Healey sent a letter to two federal agencies making the case that defining "sex" in conventional terms would harm transgender people and others who do not identify with the gender that conforms to their biological sex.
Candidates for doctorates and master's degrees who work for the university as teaching assistants, resident assistances, or proctors will now be able to engage in collective bargaining to negotiate wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment.
