Hull University insists on gender neutral language

[Guest sibon]

Hull University is to dock marks from students who fail to use gender-sensitive language. Link here

 

A spokesman for the University hinted that a gentleman's agreement was in place to reward workmanlike essays which pleased the chairman of the awards committee. People using biased language will presumably be penalised, making it more difficult for employers to choose the best man for the job, when they graduate.

Four. The man in chairman is from the Latin root manus meaning hand. I.e. Gender non specific, so if you're marked down call a solicitor (a legal practitioner not a prostitute).
