SIS Renewal featured in BU Today
BU Today featured an article on our program!
This article focuses on students’ gender and pronoun functionalities in our upcoming system updates. Our program co-sponsor, Tracy Schroeder, remarked on students having the freedom to update their Display Name in the BU Directory:
“This change is a foundational step that enables LGBTQIA+ students to provide their lived or chosen accurate name, pronouns, and gender identity to be used in BU systems and services,” Schroeder says. “In the near term, the impact of this is limited to the BU Directory display, which includes ‘Display Name and Pronouns’ only, and to a small number of other services, including the Terrier Card and Housing. Information Services and Technology will be working with administrative offices across BU in the coming months and years to adopt use of this data across all BU systems.”
The article also communicates the timing for future changes the University can anticipate from the SIS Renewal program.
