Tory MPs express outrage as Queen’s University Belfast enforces a new policy requiring adherence to preferred names and pronouns.
Furious Tories have accused university bosses of “pandering to a woke edict” after ordering students to comply with transgender names and pronouns or face punishment.
Queen’s University Belfast’s new code of conduct demands that both staff and students use whatever name and pronouns an individual demands.
Failure to do so is now treated as bullying or harassment.
It also applies to anyone who makes “derogatory” jokes about transgenderism.
The code also covers anybody who sets foot on campus, including outside contractors like cleaners, caterers, and suppliers, and anyone hired by them.
Senior Tory Sir John Hayes said he and other Conservative MPs would be writing to the University.
“This is an extraordinary decision. They are pandering to a woke edict and they are not fit to hold office,” he said.
