Abstract: University record systems (URSs) have become a core feature of university life, tracking student and staff information as they pass through the institution. Though the modernization of URSs has streamlined the operation of the university, few scholars have considered the implications of how names and pronouns are documented in these systems for trans and nonbinary students. We conducted a critical descriptive analysis of Big 10 Alliance university webpages to examine trends within URS policies regarding name and pronoun changes. Our findings suggest both linguistic and structural means through which genderism and administrative violence are perpetuated.
