Policy on Nonsexist Language

In 1983, the College Council approved recommendations pertaining to the use of nonsexist language, indicating the need for more awareness about the unconscious usages, which exclude women. In-house documents, publications, policy statements, memoranda, lectures, student recommendations, course descriptions, etc. should be free of gender bias. The Handbook of Non-Sexist Writing 2nd Ed. (New York, 1988) is recommended for assistance and advice about ways to avoid the problem.
