Student Affairs Policy Committee, in conjunction with Student Government Association, move that the language "gender identity and gender expression" be added to GCSU's Statement of Non-Discrimination.
The new statement will read:
Georgia College is committed to the fundamental principle of equal opportunity and equal treatment for every prospective and current employee and strives to create a campus environment, which understands, fosters, and embraces the value of diversity. No person shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, religion, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or genetic information be excluded from employment or participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination, under any program or activity conducted by Georgia College.
