CHREI SUPPORTED COMMITTEE
SexGen York is the University-wide committee responsible for advising and advocating around issues and concerns of sexual and gender diversity. This includes areas such as university policies and procedures (e.g. name change protocols), academic climate (e.g. homo/transphobia in the classroom), or general University environment (e.g. employment and safety).
Other CHREI supported Committees:
SexGen York, formerly known as the Sexual and Gender Diversity Advisory Committee, was created following the establishment of a President’s Task Force on Homophobia and Heterosexism in 1994. It aims to foster an accessible, inclusive, affirming intersectional environment for sexual and gender diversity among students, staff, faculty, and community members at York University. We engage in advocacy, education, and campaigns, and we support campus services and resources for gender and sexual diversity.
SexGen strives for York University to be free from prejudice and discrimination towards sexual and gender diversity as these intersect and interact with oppression in all its forms.
