Policy Statement- Fort Lewis College recognizes that some faculty, staff and students may prefer to use first names other than their legal ones to identify themselves. As long as the use of this “preferred first name” is not for the purposes of misrepresentation, the College acknowledges that a preferred first name can and should be used where possible in the course of College business and education, including but not limited to, email address, directory listings, recognitions and any printed materials.
- Inappropriate use of the preferred first name, including but not limited to, misrepresentation, inappropriate (obscene, derogatory) names or attempting to avoid a legal obligation may be cause for denying the request.
