The New School Policy on Discrimination states that “acts of discrimination including discriminatory harassment are prohibited.” The policy defines discriminatory harassment as “speech or expression that directly or deliberately insults, stigmatizes, threatens, or intimidates an individual or small group of specific individuals on the basis of … sex or gender (including gender identity and expression). We ask that students, faculty, and staff respect everyone's right to self-determination in our community by making every effort to use the correct pronouns. It is important not to simply rely on one's perceptions and assumptions but to be proactive in asking a person about their gender and/or pronouns. To help us achieve this, we ask the entire New School community to pay attention to each student's, faculty member's, or staff person's gender and pronoun use. Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment in which all can pursue their academic goals. It is important that we as a community all use and model the use of correct gender and gender pronouns.
All individuals want and need to be correctly identified.
