Sorry the prior message lost the attachment. Here is a complete version:
Dear Colleagues,
When I got home today, Frances presented me with an article from the
NY Times which contained the attached list of words and the explanation,
"As President Trump seeks to purge the federal government of "woke"
initiatives, agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid,
according to a compilation of government documents."
For this audience in particular, please note that "Mx", "polarization",
"orientation", "status", "systemic". "discrimination", "equality",
"expression",
"barriers", and "bias" are among the words to avoid. Care should be
taken in writing proposals and reports since AIs may be used for screening
and they are' likely to miss explanatory context.
Regard,
Herbert
