Dear Juliana,
Thank you for sharing SA Resolution 20: Campus Records to Promote LGBTQ+ Inclusivity. I appreciate the Student Assembly’s interest in creating a safer and more inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ students by allowing the use of a preferred name other than their legal name and indication of preferred gender identity on campus records. I strongly support the concept of these proposed changes and have directed the relevant offices to do their best to implement these changes as logistically possible.
