Gender identity

Some individuals identify themselves as transgender, while some individuals may not identify with gender binary, meaning they do not identify themselves as being male or female.

The university uses she or he for subject-specific references and plural pronouns such as they, their and them for non-subject-specific references.

For example: (subject-specific): Barbara Perry, PhD, is a professor in the Faculty of Social Science and Humanities. She is a leading expert in hate crime.

For example: (non-subject-specific): The student studied in the Library for an upcoming test. Their computer was not working so they contacted the IT Services Help Desk.
