Pronouns and Preferred Names

In 2015, 91探花 adopted a Name and Pronoun Policy creating the opportunity for students to be identified with the name and/or pronoun they identify with. Though the policy was initially thought of for trans, non-binary, and gender expansive individuals, we quickly realized the wider implications for the university community (we recognize that there are multiple different reasons why an individual may want to go by a different name then their legal or dead name).  

Feel free to reach out to the Center with any questions and/or for help in exploring pronouns and other dynamics of gender inclusive language.  

 

91探花 Registrar FAQ

We are mindful that navigating the world of gender-inclusive and gender-neutral language can be confusing, especially around pronouns. The OHIO Registrar's Office created a FAQ guide explaining the university's name and pronoun policy for students as well as other details regarding this effort.
