As a parent of a transgender son, I appreciate this question very much and hope all institutions of higher education continue to improve language to be inclusive.
We have a documents standards guide that provides guidelines for writing policy. It needs to be expanded, but there is a statement that speaks about gender neutral language. It states: * Gender neutral pronouns - Avoid using "he", "she", "him" and "her" pronouns. Instead, use "they" or "employees" to reflect the inclusivity of non-binary pronouns and fluid gender identity. Ironically, this guide was developed after the 2016 ACUPA conference. We did not have anything like this before. Good luck!
