If board approves, non-discrimination clause would expand
After years of pressure, the University Board of Regents will vote on whether to add the phrase “gender identity and expression” to the non-discrimination clause of the University’s bylaws.
If the regents approve the measure – slated to be voted on at the board’s meeting on Thursday – the University of Michigan will join the more than 75 other colleges and universities around the country that have added the phrase to non-discrimination clauses at the urging of activists who say the changes make campuses safer and more inclusive for transgender students and faculty.
