Yes, they took it down(after massive media attention), but they did put it up in the first place. So for your continued “enjoyment” (if only as a historical lesson) I give you (from the still fully operation battle-station at the UNH Department of Diversity) The Bias-Free Language Guide.
UNH has already pulled the Bias-Free Language guide, but not before our own NH House Rep, (And Campus Reform Contributor) Yvonne Dean-Baily was on Fox News to talk about it. http://s3.amazonaws.com/TVEyesMediaCenter/UserContent/283996/5082966.6305/FNC_07-30-2015_07.52.54.mp4
Campus Reform has exposed some Orwellian Speech policing right here in New Hampshire’s backyard. It is the University of New Hampshire’s Bias-Free Language Guide.
Last week we shared news about the Stanford IT department speech police issuing a language guide. For the good of the community until they walked it back the next day (something about the backlash after the Wall Street Journal took it wide) /snicker.
When UNH created its Bias-freeLanguage Guide, we wrote stories that went national. Then UNH President Mark Huddleston made it disappear and talked about the University’s commitment to free and open speech.
My first thought when I see “bias language” anything is the National Embarrassment of the UNH BiasFree Langauge Guide. But when I heard this about the FED, my first thought was, “cool, no Critical Race Theory (CRT)!”
While researching the post on the potential for Chinese influence at UNH I stumbled over an article about some National Science Funding that I wrote a few years ago. The University of New Hampshire received $999,752 to “create a “bias awareness guide and intervention tool.”
The Amherst College Office of Diversity and Inclusion released a ‘common language document‘ for all of its students this past week. If you are guessing that it was not at all diverse and exclusionary you’d be correct. A problem that led to the office reversing course within days.
Two years ago, in July of 2015, the University of New Hampshire made national news over a Bais-Free Language guide which suggested, among other things, that the word ‘American’ is problematic.
UNH, like most universities, is weighted down by diversity curricula and all the anti-free-speech BS that goes with it. This handicap culminated in the very public unmasking of the UNH Bias-Free Language guide that, among other things, suggested the word American might be problematic.
Kimberly Haas writing for the NH Union Leader reported yesterday that UNH wouldn’t take action against counter-protestors or professors calling for their expulsion. The gist of it is this. UNH students protested the election of Donald Trump. Two “counter-protesters” showed up, one in a Richard Nixon mask, the other in a gorilla suit (assumed to … Read more
New Hampshire taxpayers should take a few moments to measure the value of their ‘investment” in leadership at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). UNH President Mark Huddleston is the second highest paid Public University President in New England. Huddleston’s compensation package – which increased 2.7 percent compared to the previous year – consisted of a base … Read more
Campus Reform has declared UNH the most microaggressed campus of the year. 6. UNH: gender roles and sexist jokes cause migraines, heart disease among women The University of New Hampshire released a pamphlet on gender microaggressions that claimed such aggressions have a “detrimental impact” on women by promoting “unequal wages” and causing “higher levels of poverty.” Microaggressions, according to the … Read more
This past July the University of New Hampshire came under fire for its Bias-Free Language Guide. The Guide, produced under the University’s Inclusive Excellence program (which STILL has its Facebook page, don’t-ya-know), was ordered removed by UNH President Mark Huddleston after a national media pig-pile of stories. You will be hard pressed to find the words inclusive … Read more
WMUR has the story here. DURHAM, N.H. —The University of New Hampshire has removed from its website a “bias-free language guide” … And they have. They retooled and shuffled and it is gone. (Of course I screen grabbed it so it’s not really gone.) But this is an interesting development and we are happy to be … Read more
Thanks to ‘Axel’ for adding this update on Facebook. (Here is the link to the quote in the Concord Monitor) Statement from UNH President Mark Huddleston on Bias-Free Language Guide July 29, 2015 “While individuals on our campus have every right to express themselves, I want to make it absolutely clear that the views expressed … Read more
“American,” “illegal alien,” “foreigners,” “mothering,” and “fathering” are just a handful of words deemed “problematic” by the University of New Hampshire’s Bias-Free Language Guide. According to the university’s website, the guide “is meant to invite inclusive excellence in [the] campus community.” Terms also considered problematic include: “elders,” “senior citizen,” “overweight,” “speech impediment,” “dumb,” “sexual preference,” … Read more
When Ohio banned DEI programs at universities from taking public money, Kent State merged its Diversity Equity and Inclusion offices with Human Resources and (ironically) renamed it the Division of People Culture and Belonging. Division, indeed.
Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackerman took to X to share some thoughts, not just about Harvard, anti-semitism, racism, and anti-racism, but a deep-dive analysis of DEI, the appointment of Claudine Gay as President, and inside baseball at Harvard, which he suggests should result in its full board tendering their resignations.
It all started in 2015, and it has taken almost eight years for Saifullah Khan, a former Yale student and an Afghan refugee whose family fled the Taliban, to see a glimmer of hope for justice.
