AAU, together with 28 other associations, sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Azar to express serious concerns with a reported proposal that seeks to limit the legal definition of sex to either female or male as determined by a person’s genitals at birth. The letter says, “Our associations believe that the federal definition of sex under discussion, which is so narrowly drafted as to exclude the identities of numerous faculty, staff and students already acknowledged by our institutions, is an unnecessary and unreasonable step that is bound to cause fear and confusion.”
