A Guide to Bias-Free Communications

A Reference for Preparing Official University Publications

Gender

People in the university community are increasingly aware of the need to use language that recognizes our diversity and does not offend, demean or exclude people on the basis of gender, race, ethnic group, religion, age, ability/disability or sexual orientation. In the fall of 1990 the Faculty Senate endorsed the

Gender Equity Task Force recommendation to assist

faculty, staff and students in dealing with these issues when preparing official university publications and other communications. A broad-based group of professionals from the university community developed this guide in consultation with a number of faculty, staff and students.

Changing our language usage, however, does not

come easily or automatically. Familiar ways of writing and speaking are more comfortable; substitute phrases do

not always spring quickly to mind. This guide is meant to help you find a more encom-passing word or phrase when you need it and to be more

attuned to language that, whether intended or not, may offend others. This guide aims primarily at written material but applies as well to the spoken word. This area is controversial and in flux. Usage that groups prefer today may change next year, and this guide will be updated annually. The point is to try to communi- cate in a way that is respectful of diversity. Also, ex- amples we cite may not satisfy everyone. For those who want more specific information or other alternatives, we have included a bibliography. We welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions

on how to make this guide more useful and pertinent. For more information, please call the Office of Univer-sity Publications, 262-0948.

2. Communicate to everyone by including both male and

female reference points. (Don't assume marital or famil- ial relationships.)
