University of Michigan's Words Matter Task Force bans words - TheBlaze

University of Michigan's Words Matter Task Force bans words - TheBlaze

The Words Matter Task Force has "evaluated the terms and language conventions that may hinder effective communication, harm morale, and deliberately or inadvertently exclude people from feeling accepted to foment a healthy and inclusive culture." The group, which is a part of Michigan's Information and Technology Services, advises that people should avoid using so-called problematic words such as "privileged account," "handicapped," "blacklist," "crazy," "grandfathered," and "dummy."
