A Title IX training at Harvard University reportedly told students that failing to use a person’s preferred pronoun could be a violation of university policy.
The mandatory training contained multiple fictional scenarios explaining possible violations of the university’s Title IX policies, including one in which a student repeatedly uses the “wrong pronouns” to address someone while making comments about gender identity, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

The training said the behavior described in the scenario “contribute[s] to a climate of disrespect and may also violate Harvard’s policies.” Violations of university Title IX policy on sexual harassment can be punished by “admonition” or even “termination, dismissal, [or] expulsion.”
