Among them is Transgender Inclusion: All the Things You Want to Ask Your Transgender Coworker but Shouldn’t, which promotes workplace strategies for engaging with transgender individuals and explores medical, legal and social transitions.

Critics argue the list reflects a broader trend of progressive ideology overtaking faith-based education. They warn that pushing transgender workplace guides at a Jesuit institution marks a shift away from historic Catholic teachings on gender and human identity. The concern centers on religious institutions embracing cultural norms that contradict biblical views on creation and sexuality.
