Penn State’s Faculty Senate has approved removing gendered and binary terms from course and program descriptions circulated within the university. 
According to The Daily Collegian, proposition AD84, a.k.a. the Preferred Name and Gender Identity Policy, would substitute they/them pronouns where applicable in university materials.
The policy would also replace gendered descriptions like freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior to first-, second-, third-, and fourth-year students.
On its website, the Faculty Senate says AD84 will 'ensure that all people are not only able to choose their name & gender identity within our systems, but that these documents and systems are also structured to be inclusive from the start.'
