As an equal opportunity institution, the University of Maine Writing Center exercises the right to honor personal pronoun preference in our composition and publication to avoid gender biased and exclusive language. In accordance with the University's Nondiscrimination Policy and Nonsexist Language Policy, this includes a student's right to their personal pronoun preferences: (she/her, he/his, ze/zir, they/their), and includes the use of they as a singular pronoun and ze/zir pronouns.

I will not tolerate discrimination of any kind in any consultation. This includes discrimination based off of race, sexuality, gender, religion, socio-economic status, etc. I believe that everyone has the right to express themselves as they wish. I will continue to support all individuals and be an advocate for everyone's human rights.
