The Universities of Bristol and Nottingham have reportedly outlawed words like ‘mankind’ and ‘millennial’ to avoid causing offence – while terms such as ‘manpower’ are to be replaced with ‘workforce’.
Woke chiefs at the Russell Group schools fear the everyday expressions contribute to stigmas and can have negative associations, reports the Sun.
At Bristol, students and faculty have allegedly been told to replace the word ‘manning’ with ‘stationed’, while ‘able-bodied’ people should now be called ‘non-disabled’.
