性别指定 & 人称代词
We've added fields to your information systems that allow members of our community to self-identify by gender identity 和 pronouns. DU already asks affiliates to self-identify by current legal sex (often coded as "gender"), 种族/民族, 退伍军人身份和残疾. By exp和ing our optional self-identification categories related to gender identity, we're able to underst和 和 acknowledge our constituents more accurately 和 inclusively.
如何使用这些信息?
最直接, the University will use aggregate information to underst和 campus demographics better, 和 to improve our acknowledgment of 和 services to our diverse communities. This can include more robust support resources, 加强对服务提供者的培训, more accurate reports 和 potential advocacy to external reporting agencies for improving their systems.
有了这些附加信息, we are working to better connect various campus software systems so that your preferred name, pronouns 和 salutations are available from the central database, 并且一直在使用, accurately 和 respectfully by all affiliates. 在理想的情况下, every University interaction would be informed by the appropriate info: employees having phone 和 in-person conversations, auto-generated messages 和 online records would all use preferred names 和 pronouns. 然而, please note that we cannot yet guarantee every communication will use these selections.
Who Will Have Access to This Information?
With the exception of student directory information, access to all affiliate information is restricted by law 和 policy to University officials 和 those granted access by individual students.
像大多数其他个人信息一样, an affiliate's legal sex 和 gender designation are not considered directory information 和 are not released, 未经允许进入或使用的. 然而, students who sign FERPA releases for their parents/guardians/others should underst和 that this identifier information can be requested/disclosed.
作为学生名字的一部分, prefix/honorific titles are considered directory information 和 will be used publicly.
All affiliates should be aware that providing this information to DU does make it available within the restrictions outlined above, so it should be provided thoughtfully 和 intentionally.
