A proposed policy at the University of Toledo in Ohio states that members of the university community "must" call others by their "chosen first name." The policy, titled "Inclusive Gender Practices," was proposed by the university's vice president for diversity, equity, and inclusion and states that all students, faculty, and staff "must" call others by their "chosen first name" in "all communications."
"An individual’s Chosen First Name must be used by all UToledo students, staff, and faculty in all communications," the proposed policy states. "The University of Toledo recognizes the importance of students, faculty, and staff being able to use names other than their legal names to identify themselves for a variety of reasons."................
