Our final post for the semester. "U Sports revises equity policy to include transgender student athletes" explores another way in which dividing up the world into only two genders--in this case, through university sports teams--can work to exclude students, and force others to express gender in particularly rigid ways. Head on over to , click on the 'join the discussion' image, and let us know what you think! While we'll stop posting weekly discussion items for the summer break, the website, with many more resources than what we've posted all semester, is still there--and we'll be continually adding to it too. And we have plans for the fall -- for more discussions (in person too) and to get more of the campus community involved in helping us produce materials for the website too. So stay tuned for lots more focus on how to transform 糖心vlog官方入口 into a more equitable campus for all.

April fools reminds us how important to get into the habit of locking your computer when you leave your desk. It keeps your work and study private, and means your co-workers can't play tricks on you (it's very VERY tempting). When you leave your work space hit Windows + L (this will lock the screen requiring your password to reopen). If you work on a Mac it's Cmd+Ctrl+Q. It's really simple and takes a second.
