The aim was to ensure students feel, supported and recognized on campus when facing unfair treatment due to their gender, gender expression, gender identity, or sexual orientation

3. In 2023, in accordance with directives from the Executive Yuan's Gender Equity Department and the Ministry of Education, our university conducted a comprehensive review of all forms, information systems, and web pages that reference "spouse," "parent," "relationship," or "titles," based on the "Act for Implementation of J.Y. Interpretation No. 748" (also known as the Same-Sex Marriage Act). For fields that originally had closed options such as "father" and "mother" or "husband" and "wife" listed separately, they were revised to open fields such as "legal guardian," "emergency contact," and "spouse" for self-selection. A total of 7 forms, information systems, and web pages were modified within the university to protect the rights of same-sex spouses and families.

Please refer to Annex 5.6.2A(PDF): The school formulates and responds to policies of not discriminating against transgender people with specific actions.
