#BlackMastodon & #BlackFedi, a question abt sensitive language use:

I'm revising a position description in my public university library. A number of job duties as currently stated are to "oversee" — e.g., oversee training, oversee budget, &c.

Is that sensitive enough that we ought to change it to variants like 'supervise' or 'administer'?

For a time I attended a congregation whose "Ministry & Oversight" committee got renamed because to some its name evoked overseers.

@AmicusThespis if it bothers you, then maybe fix it. Monitor is a nice verb for budgets. So is develop, implement..Btw, I’m a “white” person though I find it cringy af.

@AmicusThespis

I can't speak for all black folks, but this seems fine and not at all worth worrying about
