This is from an article that I saw posted, today:

" Pennsylvania University Threatens to Punish Students for
Misusing Classmates' Pronouns

" Point Park Uni placed students on warning, saying in an email
that "action could be taken" if they don't respect their
classmates' preferred pronouns.

" An email from the university's Office of Equity and
Inclusion, first obtained by Campus Reform, informed students
of its anti-discrimination policies, including its
"Misgendering, Pronoun Misuse, and Deadnaming Policy."

" If an individual is impacted in a harmful way, action could
be taken if a complaint is filed," the email reads. It is
unclear what 'action' the school intends to take against those
who violate the policy.
