UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL

POLICY STATEMENT ON GENDER INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is committed to
providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of
our community. Consistent with that commitment, gender inclusive terms
(chair; first year student; upper-level student, etc.) should be used
on University documents, websites and policies. A guidance handout
(Gender-Sensitive Language) may be found on the UNC Writing Center
website at: www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/gender.html
