We've gone chicken and egg on this that's for sure.

Don't worry, this change will have a direct impact on about 0.001% of the OT.

It will mean a change in job title for 24 members of staff - but will not affect other uses of "master", such as a master's level degree.


Ohhh this shits coming though. Trust me.

Big ole pussies.

Wiki says he owned 12 slaves, and apparently that was a lot for the northeast. I wonder what evidence they have that the slaves were brutally treated.

Dude's bequest help founded Harvard Law School. Whoa.

Well, I'd say it's the people that were so horribly affected by the feels that they decided to cry out and cause a centuries old institution to change a long-time policy to accommodate their sensitivity, but that's just me. I'll stand back and let you try to make a trite attempt at saying that they're equivalent, though.

They're racist, obviously.

And while they're at it, change the PHD. I don't care how much you know about history, you're not a doctor.

You're fricking stupid

"Doctorate" comes from the Latin word meaning "to teach" and the title of Doctorate has been awarded as the highest degree from universities for longer than "doctor" has been a profession. In fact, the roots began in the Catholic Church about 1000 years ago.

There are different kinds of doctors. Deal with it.

The actual effect of this change is...?

I'd say one material outcome that impacts us is that it is yet another episode of victory for whiny babies that will strengthen their resolve and entitlement in getting their next desired outcome, whatever it may be.

Harvard University in the US is going to remove the word "master" from academic titles, after protests from students who claimed the title had echoes of slavery.

I see trouble on the horizon brewing for LSU and Tulane. LSU will be forced to drop the name Tigers and Tulane will have to be renamed due to Paul Tulane's plantation where he had slaves. If Haaaarvvvvaad is implementing these issues then its a matter of time before it comes to Louisiana.

Really though. It always cracks me up how the rah rah anti-PC people can't see the irony in getting butthurt over stupid stuff like this.

Wow.. Even a school with the smartest kids in the world, still has the just as many retarded and unreasonable jackasses as every other college campus.
