In September 2010, Kwansei Gakuin came out with the “Building an Inclusive Community”
statement (revised in March 2014) which celebrates diversity as a strength of community andaspires to be “a community without borders.” It states that all members of the community ‒students, pupils, kindergarteners, faculty, staﬀ, alumni, and their families ‒ have diﬀerences, notonly according to sex and age, but also according to nationality, race, ethnicity, place of origin,primary language, religion, physical or mental characteristics, and sexual orientation. These
diﬀerences need to be respected. The statement is an intentional commitment to create anenvironment where each individual member can manifest their inner strengths.
On the basis of this statement and in order to turn the campus into such an inclusive
community, the university formulated the Basic Policy and Action Guidelines for the Realizationof an Inclusive Community in April 2020.

next toto youyou“Coming out” is the word used when one tells another person their own sexual orientation(your preference of sexual partner) and sexual identity (the way you deﬁne your own sexuality).
Has anybody ever come out to you before? They say that 8.9% of the population identify
themselves as sexual minorities. That means that there are 1800 students at Kwansei Gakuin
who would identify themselves this way (according to the 2018 Dentsu Survey). That means
one out of every eleven people in your class or club activity would identify themselves as asexual minority.
You might claim that you have never met such a person, but the reality might be that you
have in fact already met that person without knowing it. It is not an issue so far from home.
There are many things that we can do to allow each person the freedom to live and be theperson that they really are.
