  1. Student Council President – Ashley Koesterer THE CORRECT RESOLUTION THAT PASSED IN STUDENT COUNCIL A BILL ADDING GENDER IDENTITY/EXPRESSION TO THE NON DISCRIMINATION POLICY • WHEREAS, gender non-conforming students often face a hostile and unwelcoming campus climate; and • WHEREAS, Missouri University of Science & Technology’s non-discrimination policy currently includes sexual orientation; and • WHEREAS, the language in the non-discrimination policy does not explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or gender expression; and • WHEREAS, gender identity is defined as the gender with which an individual person identifies, which may or may not be at odds with their sex-assigned-at-birth; and • WHEREAS, gender expression is defined as the outward presentation of one’s gender which may be perceived by others to be at odds with an individual’s sex-assigned-at-birth; and • WHEREAS, 623 United States colleges have non-discrimination policies covering “gender identity and expression” including seven Missouri institutions; and • WHEREAS, including the phrase “gender identity and expression” in the non-discrimination policy clarifies Missouri University of Science and Technology’s resolve to support all of its students; and • NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Student Council of Missouri University of Science & Technology, urge Chancellor Schrader as well as the Board of Curators to approve and update the campus and University System’s non-discrimination policy to include the language “gender identity and expression” Respectfully Submitted, Ashley Koesterer Student Body President
