This petition is to show our support in adding Gender Identity as a protected sect of students and faculty on campus as The University of Kansas.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read through this, we appreciate your time.

We are asking for Gender Identity to be added to the non discrimination bill for The University of Kansas. Already we're protected from discrimination based on gender but that only applies when we identify with the same gender we're born with - which isn't always the case. This would show our support for the trans gendered students and faculty at KU and give them firm ground to stand on if they're discriminated against for such reasons - giving them a course of action to have the situation remedied. While KU is a very progressive campus there is always room for change and we believe this is another step in the correct direction to protect the rights of all of the students and staff at KU so we can all feel our rights or protected during our college career.
