The school’s pronoun guide instructs community members to ask others what pronouns they use to describe themselves and to then adopt those pronouns when speaking to or about them.

Nonbinary pronouns “are often used by trans, genderqueer, and gender-nonconforming people,” the guide states. It also explains the pronunciation and conjugations of “Ze,” “Ey” “Per” and “Them” while telling readers to “never argue with or question a person’s gender identity of pronouns.”

The guide also warns the community not to assume that “she/her/hers” are female pronouns, or that “he/him/his” are male.

Even the use of the term “preferred pronouns” is discouraged by the guide, since it can be considered demeaning.

“Many people find the use of ‘preferred’ to describe names and pronouns insulting,” the guide declares. “It is not someone’s ‘preferred’ pronouns, but the pronouns that they use.”

While the university does not have a punishment policy for those who use pronouns incorrectly, offenders can be investigated for failure to respect gender identity through the school’s bias reporting system, the College Fix notes.
