The trustees at SUNY have directed all 64 campuses to update their policies regarding the use of a student's chosen name and pronouns.
The goal is to ensure that transgender, non-conforming, and non-binary students' identities are fully represented in campus systems.
The student's chosen name and pronouns will appear in campus portals, class rosters, email addresses, and more.
SUNY students are additionally able to select 'X' when asked to provide gender.
The policy must be in place by the fall of 2023.
