Villanova University has issued a new guide for faculty and staff, and the instruction includes a section on gender inclusion.
The directive notes a recent major change:
Beginning in Spring, 2022, Villanova made it possible for all faculty, staff, and students to enter chosen first name and personal pronouns into [the administrative system]. Chosen first name and personal pronoun will now appear on class lists and other university communications.
Moving on to moral management:
This guide introduces Villanova faculty and staff to best practices for being gender-inclusive in our work spaces, laboratories, and classrooms — especially for those who identify within transgender, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and/or gender-questioning communities.
The handbook hopes to address important questions:
How can we cultivate gender-inclusive teaching and work environments?
How can we invite full participation from people of all genders and respond to the harmful effects of gender stereotyping or misgendering?
We’ve reached an unprecedented place in society. Until very recently, no one had a “gender.” There was sex, and that was all; how one presented or perceived oneself was category-free. But suddenly, all of society seems to have voted: There shall now be an extra column of identity.
