British University introduces ‘menopause policy’ to tackle tabooA university has told its academics to say the word menopause three times a day in an attempt to cause a “dramatic culture change” among its staff.
The University of Leicester released a statement entitled “Let’s say ‘menopause’ three times a day” as it announced that it was “the UK’s first university to have a menopause policy”.
Andrea Davies, of the university’s school of business, is leading a research team to drive changes in attitude towards the menopause that includes the creation of a permanent “menopause café” in the staff dining area.
“The results have been surprising — it has helped men as well as women talk confidently about menopause,” the university said.

Perhaps they ought to consider that question and it's relative importance compared to SUBJECTS being taught?
What's the point? Why talk about menopause? What is there to talk about it?
ReplyDeleteThere is a BBC article that gives a better analysis of what is happening and why.
