Becoming a More Inclusive Campus for Transgender and Nonbinary Tritons
Earlier this year we announced our information, education, and training efforts regarding gender recognition and lived names.  To further this work, UC San Diego is establishing an Implementation Task Force with a charge to ensure our compliance with the UC Presidential Policy on Gender Recognition and Lived Name.  These changes will ensure the dignity and well-being of all members of our diverse community, and will offer transgender, intersex and nonbinary Tritons even greater recognition and inclusion on our campus.

Charged by our Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Becky Petitt, to bring these changes to fruition at UC San Diego, the leadership of the task force will include:
  • Crystal Wiley Cené, Chief Administrative Officer for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion & Associate Chief Medical Officer, Health Equity
  • Kevin Chou, Executive Director, IT Services
  • Dave Garrison, Senior Associate Registrar 
  • Cindy Palmer, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Personnel
  • Shaun Travers, Campus Diversity Officer & Director of the LGBT Resource Center
  • Pearl Trinidad, Executive Director, Campus Human Resource Office and Business and Financial Services
Membership on the task force will be broad and far-reaching, drawing from the Steering Committee established to do the initial work when the California Gender Recognition Act first passed in 2018.

Full implementation of this policy is required by the end of 2023 and will require significant changes to our business processes and their associated data systems. Information, education, and training regarding the UC Presidential Policy on Gender Recognition and Lived Names, as well as on Transgender, Nonbinary, and Intersex Awareness, are available through the UC Learning system. You may access the training directly using your Single Sign On. A frequently asked questions (FAQ) is available on our gender recognition resource website.

We are grateful to the Implementation Task Force for its service and commitment to advancing measures to ensure a more inclusive experience for all at UC San Diego.
