UK university cuts 'woman' from menopause and maternity policy descriptions
Fox News
A university in London announced new guidelines to replace the word “woman" in maternity and menopause benefits for staff members, sparking pushback.
UAL guidance from October 2022 told staff members that maternity leave applies to all genders. The issue gained wider awareness after the British think tank Policy Exchange weighed in on the matter in an April 2023 newsletter.

"At UAL, we are introducing equal parental leave.
