Based on considerations for LGBTQ+ people, the policy that the University should evaluate the \u201cnecessity to collect information related to gender\u201d on campus has been determined.<\/p>\n

For LGBTQ+ people, information about gender is intertwined with one\u2019s personal dignity, values, and way of life. Acknowledging that every instance of collecting this information inflicts psychological trauma, the University is evaluating the documentation to be submitted by students, faculty, and staff. If the collection of this information is deemed to be unnecessary, the section used to identify respondents\u2019 \u201csex\u201d will be removed.<\/p>\n

Following a full evaluation, the University has disclosed a part of List of documentation on MyWaseda which collect information about gender due to rational reasons (see below).<\/p>\n

Since 2017, the University has stopped listing \u201csex\u201d on attendance records. Now, with this next step, the University is further advancing its initiatives.<\/p>\n

Examples of Rational Collection of Information About Gender <\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. \u00a0Collection of information about gender with regards to the use of gender-specific facilities or equipment<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Collection of information about gender used for medical purposes<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Collection of information about gender required by documentation from external institutions<\/li>\n
  4. Collection of information about gender used to spur \u201cpositive action\u201d that eliminates existing instances of sexual discrimination (discrimination and inequality between men and women), by clarifying disparities and identifying issues in the treatment of men and women<\/li>\n
  5. Collection of information about gender used for academic research<\/li>\n
  6. Collection of information about gender used for social surveys and the creation of statistical materials<\/li>\n
  7. Collection of information about gender in situations where it is deemed to be rational and reasonable<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
