A proposal to amend MSU's Anti-Discrimination Policy to add a gender identity footnote will reach MSU's Academic Council on Tuesday, after going through several committees in the Academic Governance system since the fall.

The Academic Council is a policy-making group of administrators, faculty and students who make recommendations to MSU's Board of Trustees. The trustees will decide whether to adopt the clause.

The proposal was developed more than a year ago when ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government, brought the idea for the university's anti-discrimination policy to specifically mention gender identity.

The meeting will be at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday in Room 115 in the International Center.
