    abstract = "We examine the editorial evolution of Italian university statutes toward inclusive language, analyzing how institutions represent female and non-binary identities and how these representations affect administrative communication. To this end, we compile and annotate a corpus of university statutes, tracing the changes that have led some universities to move from the use of the generic masculine to more inclusive formulations. We also experiment with tools for the automatic detection of non-inclusive language in institutional communication and methods for the automatic rewriting of texts into inclusive language."
