MONTREAL — A major Quebec university is joining a growing movement toward allowing students — including transgender students who’ve long sought the provision — to use a name other than their given name on campus. It will extend to all non-official documents and resources, including student cards, university email addresses and the student directory. Professors will address students by their preferred names. Already, about 100 online requests have been made since Monday’s announcement, about half of them from transgender students. “They would start at university, (and) it meant taking measures, improvising for each professor, each class, each semester, for their entire university career,” she said.
