More nonsense from The University of California

And again, this is from UC Merced ,the smallest, least radical, and least tenured of campuses. You or your children will be taught how misspell and how not to think critically at all:

A Message from the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Dear Campus Community, 

The UC Regents passed a memorial resolution on Oct. 3, 1870, “that young ladies be admitted into the university on equal terms in all respects with young men.” A UC Berkeley committee has been working to coordinate a yearlong celebration of 150th anniversary of that resolution, and we have been invited to join in. 

One of the central aspects of this celebration is a UC-wide history project designed to examine the history of womxn and diversity on the all the UC campuses and to disseminate this history widely as part of a permanent archive. The project will feature the contributions and lives of notable students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the UC campuses.

I would like to invite you to submit names (photos and short bios are welcome, too) of notable womxn associated with UC Merced, which will be considered for inclusion on the 150W website.

For example: 

·         womxn who have made a profound different at UC Merced;
·         institutional “firsts” (e.g. first womxn Ph.D., first tenured womxn, first womxn dean, etc.); or 
·         names of womxn (alumni or past/current employees) who have significant national or international accomplishments.

We know it is not possible to submit the names of all womxn associated with our campus, and thus I encourage you to select a representative subset which illustrates the wide range of womxn who have been a part of UC Merced.

Please send the above information to diversity@ucmerced.edu by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25, for review by members of the 150W steering committee at Berkeley.

Thank you for helping us ensure our celebration is inclusive.

I remember when the Leftist militant lesbians insisted upon calling themselves "womyn", but "womxn" is even stupider than that.

And this kind of nonsense goes on in a followup email. I am sure no instructor there, let alone any student, would dare to call this nonsense out:

Subject: Comment Period for Policy: Gender Recognition and Lived Name 

A Message From the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion 

Dear Campus Community,

The University of California Office of the President invites comments on a proposed Presidential Policy: Gender Recognition and Lived Name. It is proposed that the policy be fully implemented by UC campuses and locations by July 1, 2021, and it includes the following key issues:

The university must provide three equally recognized gender options on university-issued documents and information systems — female, male and nonbinary.

The university must provide an efficient process for students and employees to retroactively amend their gender designations and lived names on university-issued documents and in information systems.

The legal name of university students, employees, alumni and affiliates, if different than the individual’s lived name, must be kept confidential and must not be published on documents or displayed in information systems that do not require a person’s legal name.

The proposed policies are posted on UC Merced’s Policies website. 

Employees who want to provide comments on the proposed revisions can submit them to the UC Merced Policy Office by May 14, 2020, by emailing policy@ucmerced.edu

Best regards,
