In March, #4b of the Board of Regents Directives on DEI was voted on to become Board Policy.  4b states "No employee, student, applicant, or campus visitor is compelled to disclose their pronouns".  As part of a larger effort to communicate this policy across campus, revisions are proposed to the Free Speech Syllabus statement where a sentence is added that states "Anyone may choose to voluntarily disclose their own pronouns, but no employee, student, applicant, or campus visitor is ever compelled to do so".  This edit would align us the Board policy, as well as other regents universities. Oksana Grybovych Haferman, Chief of Staff and Professor, will be present to address questions. 

Therefore, be it resolved that the Senate approves changes to the Free Speech Syllabus statement.
