“Engaging a wider audience” means seeking funding from woke foundations, which will enable them to ignore opposition from parents, grandparents, and alumnae.

A women's college in Philadelphia went through this stuff back in the 80s, wanting to admit men even though there were dozens of coed schools all around; but the alumnae fought back and it stayed women's except for the very small graduate program, which did not involve any males residing in the dorms. A few years ago they said they would admit post-op trans females to the undergrad; but lately it's just anyone who "identifies" as female. Yuck.
