We would like to offer clarification on statements referring to gender-neutral language.
There is no mandate or official policy to use gender-neutral pronouns. We do not dictate speech. Most people prefer to use the pronouns he and she. However, some don’t.
The information provided in this week’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion newsletter was offered as a resource to our campus community on inclusive practices.
We strive to be a diverse and inclusive campus and to ensure that everyone feels welcome, accepted, and respected.
