Our mission is to provide high quality, client-focused services for preventing, managing, navigating and resolving conflict at the UW while also working to improve the fairness and effectiveness of the University’s systems and operations. We act as thought-partners with clients to assist them in navigating any issue to do with their lives at the UW.

All-Gender Restrooms (Tri-campus)
All individuals may use facilities such as restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms that correspond with their gender identity; in other words, individuals may use the restroom of the gender they identify with. This is consistent with WAC 162-32-060
Gender neutral restrooms are available for anyone to use, including people who are trans or genderqueer. They provide greater privacy for those who prefer it, and are accessible to persons with disabilities who have a caregiver of a different gender or to parents with a child of a different gender than themselves.
