Running List of Universities Significantly Impacted by Government & Trustee Actions

Taken from Pink News on Facebook:

The University of Alabama has quietly removed sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression from its Harassment and Equal Opportunities and Non-Discrimination policies.

Archives from UA’s website for the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs show monthly changes, college paper The Crimson White reported on 22 July.

During the 2025 fall semester, the website detailed that the institution’s protections against education and employment discrimination included “sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.” Mentions of gender expression and identity were removed by September 2025 and sexual orientation references were removed by January of this year.

Alex House, a spokesperson for UA, said that the changes “reflect the current language of relevant federal laws.”
