Vanderbilt University’s Gender Confusion: Puts ‘Preferred Pronouns’ On Nameplates

Vanderbilt University has decided to add a vital ingredient to its staff’s nameplates: gender pronouns.

Yup, in addition to having your name and position on your nameplate, you can now have your “preferred pronoun.” For example, “John Smith, Graduate Assistant, Office of Greek Life, Pronouns” He/Him/His.”

A university spokesperson said the university gave the staff of the Dean of Students Office the option to list their “preferred pronouns” on their name tags.

Last week, a pronoun poster distributed on the campus urged students and faculty on the campus to introduce themselves with their name and preferred pronouns, even offering suggestions for new pronouns. The poster was created by the university’s “Faculty Senate Gender Inclusivity Task Force” (“with input from LGBTQI Life”) according to The Daily Caller.

For the full poster, see here.

Vanderbilt spokeswoman Princine Lewis told The Daily Caller, “The poster, the result of a grassroots, student-led partnership with our faculty, is intended to provide awareness and education about gender identity.”
