A new policy will allow students at SUNY schools to have the option of choosing the letter X when asked to provide their gender. All 64 campuses must have the new gender-neutral policy fully implemented by the fall of 2023.
"Every person, regardless of their gender identity or the name they choose to go by, deserves to have identity documentation that reflects who they are," Governor Kathy Hochul said."This historic change by the SUNY system is a victory in our ongoing fight to ensure that New York is a place of love and belonging. My administration remains committed to taking the steps necessary to ensure equality and respect for the LGBTQIA+ community.
In 2015, the SUNY Board of Trustees set a goal to be the most inclusive state university system in the country and passed a resolution in 2021 requiring SUNY state-operated campuses to designate all single-occupancy bathrooms as gender-neutral. The chosen name and pronouns mandate expands on SUNY's 25-Point Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan to make campuses more inclusive for students within marginalized communities.
