My administration remains committed to taking the steps necessary to ensure equality and respect for the LGBTQIA+ community,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado shared his support in the statement across more than five dozen New York locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSUNY\u2019s new chosen name and pronoun policy being rolled out at all 64 SUNY campuses will provide all students with access to a welcoming higher education environment where they can be themselves,\u201d said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy providing equity for all SUNY students, New York is once again proving that we are the nation\u2019s leader when it comes to forward-thinking policies that advance acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The statement specifically noted that the student\u2019s chosen name and pronouns will appear in campus portals, class rosters, and student email addresses, among other changes. SUNY students will also be able to select \u201cX\u201d when asked to provide gender by the college.<\/p>\n<p>According to the statement, The State University of New York serves about 1.3 million students across its 64 locations, making it the largest comprehensive system of higher education in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement during Pride month follows Hochul\u2019s equity agenda plan launched in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew York is recognized as the birthplace of movements for equality and progress, and I am committed to advancing our state\u2019s proud progressive legacy with a wide-ranging plan to promote and support gender equity, racial equity, anti-hate, social justice, the LGBTQIA+ community, immigrants and new arrivals, and veterans,\u201d Hochul <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/governor-hochul-announces-equity-agenda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in January.\u00a0\u201cMy administration\u2019s Equity Agenda will both protect the fundamental rights of all New Yorkers and widen the opportunity for people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities to pursue the New York Dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The equity plan included moving forward with the Gender Recognition Act (GRA), signed in June 2021, that allows New Yorkers the option of an \u201cX\u201d gender marker on state driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis important step helped ensure that all New Yorkers, including transgender and non-binary individuals, can have documents that accurately reflect their gender identity. But while many different State agencies collect information about gender, most are not covered by GRA\u2019s requirement to provide an \u2018X\u2019 option when identifying their gender during an interaction with an agency,\u201d according to the governor\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n<p>Hochul also expressed support in January for trans-identifying inmates to choose between men\u2019s or women\u2019s prisons, allowing the right to request placement \u201cwith persons of the gender that is consistent with such person\u2019s gender identity,\u201d the policy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/governor-hochul-announces-highlights-fy-2023-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">states<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul announced on Wednesday that all 64 SUNY college campuses are being directed to update policies to ensure that a person\u2019s chosen gender identity and pronouns are used.
