All Gender Restroom signs now available

logoDear Campus Community:
The Chancellor and Provost Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Concerns is happy to share with all units that through the great work and dedication of many individuals and committees, an “All Gender Restroom” sign (samples below) is currently now available through the Facilities and Services sign shop. The signs are to identify single-use, locking-capable restroom facilities in campus buildings. The Chancellor’s and Provost Committee on LGBTQ Concerns officially recommends the usage of this sign for all applicable restrooms. Please use this document as a functional job aide that can assist your unit/office/building managers to successfully order and install the signs.

In Solidarity,
Cris Mayo, Chair
