UC Gender Recognition and Lived Name Policy
On November 2020, President Michael V. Drake, M.D., announced a new presidential policy to ensure all individuals are identified by their accurate gender identity and lived or preferred name on university-issued documents and in UC’s information systems.
The policy requires UC to provide:
At least three equally recognized gender options in university information systems woman, man and nonbinary.
An efficient process for current students, faculty and staff, and for UC alumni and affiliates, to retroactively amend their gender designations and lived or preferred names on university-issued documents, including eligible academic documents, and in information systems.
For additional information about the policy, contact Klint Jaramillo at Klint.Jaramillo@ucsf.edu.
