Two ex-employees of Houghton University, a Christian Methodist college in upstate New York, claim they were fired for including preferred pronouns in email signatures.
The president of Houghton University in New York is pushing back on claims that two staff members were terminated solely for including their pronouns in the signature line of their emails but emphasized the importance of school staff members accurately representing the school's values in external and internal communications.
Raegan Zelaya and Shua Wilmot thought the pronouns in their work email signatures would be a helpful identifier that could also foster conversation and promote inclusivity, particularly at the small Christian university in New York where they worked.
