Our stance on the UCF non-discrimination policy is the same as it was five months ago:

Discrimination of any kind should not be tolerated.

Students have been attempting to have gender identity added to UCF's non-discrimination policy since at least last April.

The current Golden Rule handbook states that the college will "promote equal opportunity policies and practices" for all students and faculty, but it lacks any protection for gender identity and expression.

Arizona State and Ohio State, the first and second largest universities in the U.S., have non-discrimination policies in place that include transgender individuals. It is time for UCF to join other colleges in sending a message that discrimination of any kind is not acceptable.
