The Faculty Senate voted unanimously Friday to include "gender identity and expression" in the University's non-discrimination policy in hopes of protecting the rights of transgender students, faculty and staff.

The resolution to include the new language into GW's Equal Employment Opportunity Policy was presented by the Joint Committee of Faculty and Students alongside a packet of information prepared by the LGBT Resource Center in support of the policy change.
