LINK Stanford backpedals on "harmful language"guide, insists 'American' is 'absolutely welcomed' after uproar over blacklisted words
Stanford University backpedaled on its much-mocked “harmful language” guide, saying it was only offering suggested alternatives for allegedly problematic words and acknowledging that the project blundered when it targeted the word “American.”
Steve Gallagher, Stanford chief information officer, said the Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative [EHLI] is neither mandatory nor university policy, but rather was created by and intended for discussion within the IT Department.
“First and importantly, the website does not represent university policy. It also does not represent mandates or requirements,” Mr. Gallagher said in a Tuesday statement.
What incensed many observers was that the 13-page document, which seeks to eradicate “racist, violent and biased” language in websites and code, recommended replacing “American” with “U.S. citizen.”
“We have particularly heard concerns about the guide’s treatment of the term ‘American.’ We understand and appreciate those concerns,” said Mr. Gallagher. “To be very clear, not only is the use of the term ‘American’ not banned at Stanford, it is absolutely welcomed.”
The 13-page guide posted online in May also suggested replacing “Hispanic” with “Latinx;” “grandfather” with “legacy;” “addict” with “person with a substance use disorder;” “people of color” with “BIPOC,” and “Karen” with “demanding or entitled White woman.”
