Me again.
Anyone having conversations about this being added to/changed on the admission applications at your institutions to be more inclusive ? Seems it is a topic for the Student Affairs Officers, but it didn’t surface at MACRAO so I thought I’d check.
I believe I heard someone mention that they are ‘working with Ellucian’ to add this to banner; however, when I asked some questions about any movement for inclusion in IPEDs it does not sound like that is currently under discussion.
At present I believe even for the gender descriptor of ‘unknown’ in banner requires for reporting that we arbitrarily assign M or F gender.
Just hoping that if it really is a topic for inclusion in admission applications, that admission, registrar, and IR staff as well as legal counsel are included in the conversation and the Student Affairs Officers are aware of the limitations.
