UGA Faculty Want Gender Identity Protection


University of Georgia faculty want stronger protection against discrimination based on gender identity.

Business management professor Janine Aronson, who describes herself as UGA’s first openly transgender faculty member, told the Associated Press that the change would be minor but symbolic and would bring UGA in line with other universities.

“It says we do not discriminate, and we do not put up with discrimination,” Aronson said.

UGA President Jere Morehead has not reviewed the Faculty Council’s recommendation, according to the AP.
