Affirmative Action – Gender-Inclusive Language Policy

This policy applies to ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ Employees, Students, Auxiliary Organizations (Campus Auxiliary Services, Research Foundation), and Contractors.

This policy advances ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ’s institutional commitment to inclusion by minimizing gender biased language and explicitly affirming that people of all genders are welcome. It is important to note that the College conceptualizes gender on a spectrum which extends beyond a man/woman binary. As such, gender-inclusive and gender-neutral language allows greater intentionality and accuracy.

Gender-inclusive language should be used in official publications, announcements, forms, catalogs, websites, correspondence, and documents publicizing or delivering information about the State University of New York, College at ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ.
