Abstract: The University of Tsukuba aims to be a university where all members, not only LGBT but also everyone with diverse personalities, can share their abilities. The Bureau of Human Empowerment plays a central role in student support in line with the Basic Principles and Guidelines on LGBT+ Inclusion at the University of Tsukuba (2020 revision). Students' gender information is accessible only to those who need it, such as teachers in charge. Faculty and staff are encouraged to handle information carefully. While basic knowledge of LGBT and others is necessary, it is also important to consider all students based on the premise that there are those with diverse personalities who are not LGBT, rather than treating LGBT and other students specially. We shared our opinions with faculty and the faculty development (FD) committee members at FD meetings.
