Oxford University is encouraging students to use the gender-neutral pronoun 'ze' instead of 'she and 'he'.
The students' union wrote in a leaflet that the move was intended to reduce the risk of transgender students being offended.
Students hope that the use of ‘ze’ will continue into university lectures and seminars, reported The Sunday Times.
According to Oxford University's behaviour code, using the wrong pronoun to define a transgender person is an offence.

The student union at SOAS, a leading centre for the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, states that “decolonising” the university and “confronting the white institution” is one if its priorities for the academic year.
It says that “white philosophers” should be studied only “if required”, adding that their work should be taught solely from a “critical standpoint”. “For example, acknowledging the colonial context in which so-called 'Enlightenment' philosophers wrote within,” it says.

Lecturers who are '60 year old white men' are unable to teach black and minority ethnic (BME) people, students have complained.

When describing 'barriers' students face when they want to access support from lecturers and tutors, it said: 'Non-white students were comparatively less likely than their peers to be able to access the advantages of cultural familiarity with their tutor.
mail said:
This statement was followed by quotes from students who said:
• 'Both of my tutors are white men. How can I really … have a rapport and feel comfortable talking to a 60 year old white man…'
• 'I find it hard to tell a white teacher my problems.'
• 'Most teachers come from privileged backgrounds which [some] BME students can't relate to.'

Hopefully they can overcome their racial prejudice and find a way to work with older white men.

Say, just an idea but if they struggle to have empathy with their "teachers", based on ethnicity, financial worth and gender, then why don't these snowflakes simply try going to a different fking university, preferably somewhere where their education is subsidised by middle aged, tax-paying white people.

NUS release a statement on the Westminster attack but spend very little time actually writing about the victims and they didn't even mention the dead policeman.
NUS said:
My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of the horrific attack in Westminster, as well as their loved ones.
Among those injured are four students from Edge Hill University, and a group of students from France. As the President of NUS I would like to send them our movement's love and solidarity.
I also want to extend our solidarity to the many Muslims and migrants who at this time will be especially fearful of racism and abuse. We must stand firm against all attempts to stoke up Islamophobia or intolerance against migrants of any nationality, especially at a time of increased hate crime against many communities across society.
Similarly, we must also continue to oppose attempts to utilise such events to undermine civil liberties, extend surveillance policies such as Prevent, or to tighten border controls.
Last night thousands came together in London for a vigil. Let us take the time to remember the victims and all the victims of war and terror around the world. Let us appreciate one another and remind ourselves that the strength of our movement comes from its diversity and unity. Let us recommit ourselves to building a movement that stands firm against racism and xenophobia, is vigilant against attempts to divide us, and fights to build a more just and safer world.
In unity,
Malia Bouattia
NUS National President

Whilst I think she has said some very daft things previously I do wonder if this is a little bit of people seeing what they want to see.
"My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of the horrific attack in Westminster, as well as their loved ones."
Seems pretty clear as an opener tbh.

Agreed, I know exactly what I see with that opener."My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of the horrific attack in Westminster, as well as their loved ones."
