Two employees at a Christian university in New York were fired after adding pronouns to their email signatures, the pair said in multiple videos and posts online.
Shua Wilmot and Raegan Zelaya, who were dorm directors at Houghton University in New York, used pronouns in their email signatures, refused to remove them and in April, received letters within an hour of each other saying they were fired.
Wilmot’s pronouns are he/him and Zelaya’s are she/her.
In letters, the school cited the pair’s “continued use of pronouns, and your email signature and violation of institutional policy after you had been asked to remove them.”

..."Both Zelya and Wilmot told the Times they added their pronouns because they have uncommon, gender-neutral names.
In a statement to the Times, a university spokesman said the school "has never terminated an employment relationship based solely on the use of pronouns in staff email signatures."
The statement said that, in recent years, "we've required anything extraneous be removed from email signatures, including Scripture quotes."...
