Yale University said Thursday that it's replacing terms such as 'freshman' and 'upperclassman' with more gender-neutral phrasing like 'first-year' and 'upper-level student.'
The changes come after faculty began deliberating the issue in 2016, when students said they wanted 'greater gender inclusivity,' on campus, according to the Yale Daily News.
Just wow

I'm surprised they did upper level. Thought that was frowned upon since everyone is equal.

It's a brave thing they're doing.

Remember when the Ivy League used to be classy and people were proud to get in? These universities are turning to pure liberal junk and losing their educational status in my opinion. It's sad.

Is "human" offensive now?

Aren't these already gender neural terms?

I have something we can replace woman with. They probably won't like it though.

About time they get on board.

Zhe is pleased them were able to accomplish this.

God damn you guys are fricking retarded. How is this what a liberal wants? Sure if you go by the media whatever, but a true liberal wouldn't give a frick about this shite. Sure we want freedom and liberty, but to change our terms because it has the letters, e, m, n in it is just retarded. Being a liberal is about freedom through democracy (outside our natural rights), not wanting to change shite because your feelings get hurt. The bigger problem why this keeps happening is because of money. The more politically correct you are, the less likely you are to offend your potential customers.
But yeah, lets keep regurgitating what the media wants to define as a liberal, when in reality it is quite the opposite.

Liberal and conservative fringe groups are equally crazy. They both give their parties black eyes. Both are press hogs.

I mean, in the grand scope of things this isn't that bad or relevant.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. I don't think there is any question about it.

Of course you're OK with it. You're a democrat. Your wife probably makes you do the dishes and the laundry.
