We all know that the UW-system has too many campuses; over the next 5++ years the number of incoming students will no longer justify keeping all those campuses open. It's demographics. Either the State begins closing them or the State will spend a lot of money on empty classrooms.
So we found a candidate for the FIRST closing!!
The University of Wisconsin-River Falls has a webpage that states “Asking someone their pronouns is like asking someone their name."
The webpage also says that failing to address someone by their pronoun "is not only disrespectful and hurtful, but also oppressive."
The university claims that using correct gender pronouns "matter more than grammar rules.
Other than faculty and a few students--there are only a few--nobody will miss it.
Just discovered this - UW-Milwaukee has this too - at least something of that nature.....
