Descripción:In this paper we analyse the gender fair use of language policy and planning (LPP) of the University of Costa Rica (UCR), since it was created in 2003 to the present, relating it to proposals by other Spanish speaking institutions of higher education. With a glottopolitical perspective, we describe this LPP (Cooper, 1997) and its instrument (CIEM, 2004); we explore the execution of the LPP in administrative documents and news of the Dean Office; and we contextualize the LPP of UCR by analyzing the guidelines of non sexist use of language created by other Spanish speaker universities. Among the results, we have: this policy and its instrument neither the way they should be implemented have not been clear, with possible glottopolitical consequences, such as the rejection of the university community; the implementation of this policy is higher among the administrative documents; in addition, at the Dean documents we find linguistic strategies that coincide with some of the guidelines from other universities and do not appear at CIEM (2004), this can result as an input for UCR. We disscuse about the urge of finding mechanisms of implementation related to raise awareness among the community about the relationship of the LPP with the institutional reality and sexism in the academic world in general (Canal UCR, 2017).
