Texas Christian University to nix the word 'freshmen' in push for 'inclusive excellence'

[steelfrog]

What a freaking joke of an institution our alma mater has become.

Yep and the decline appears to be accelerating.

 

[GP's Step-Son]

Is this silly? yes

You should’ve stopped there and your post would’ve been spot on. What is happening?

 

[steelfrog]

There really is no reason to attend any of these expensive woke schools any longer. My kids are going the clep, testing out route for 95% of their degrees. The total cost is less than $5,000. The accredited online degrees are the same as the others.

This will be the future.

at a time when the delivery of information has never been cheaper, there’s absolutely no reason for universities to cost what they do EXCEPT for all of the huge cost of the diversity initiatives and the professors being tenured, though they do not teach (and aren’t trained to teach even when they try) and of course the ridiculous physical plant and the enormous accumulations of wealth they call endowments. Oh, and sports, which are totally unnecessary.

Such woke garbage. My alma mater has become a bunch of soft idiots interested only in money and appeasement. It's becoming harder to cheer for them the more you hear about this kind of trash.

Texas Christian University has announced that it will no longer use the term "freshmen" in an effort to be more inclusive.

Instead, the school will refer to students in college for the first time as "first-year" students. The term will also apply to students with fewer than 24 credit hours, regardless of how long they have been enrolled in school.

TCU's Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs called the change "a reflection of our university-wide commitment to inclusive excellence."

This is what happens when you get a bunch of woke women and beta simp males running the place.

Go, my favorite sports team! Score another goal unit basket. Beat the opponents soundly.

Well, at least by 1 unit.

Local Christian Parents Pay University $100,000 To Totally Destroy 18 Years Of Their Hard Work

BOSTON, MA—According to sources, local parents Dale and Cherie Woodall are shelling out over $100,000 to send their son Dillan to college and utterly destroy every good thing they have tried to teach him for the last 18 years.

At college, Dillan's faith will be assaulted on a daily basis, and every value he's been taught will be deconstructed until there's nothing left. When he graduates, he will be a lost, miserable soul who won't be able to get a job and will wander aimlessly through life for 10 years until he rediscovers God again and finds the meaning and purpose he long left behind.

$100K well spent!

So who are you gonna stalk when SMU shuts down?

Sounds sexist.

 

[Palliative Care]

What next? All First Year Students must wear pink panties?

 

[HToady]

TCU to refrain from using the word woman, and will instead, use "woowoo"....wether appropriate or not.

My contribution on another thread where this was posted:

Freshmen-applies only to men. Not woke enough. New term: First year student
Red-shirt freshman-offensive to Native Americans. Must be banned. New term: False first year student
Sophomore-has the word homo in it. Term is homophobic. Must be banned. New term: Second year student
Junior-implies male offspring in a male dominated society. Term is dated and needs to be banned. New term: Third year student
Senior-Too close to the spanish word Señor, which applies only to men. Term is misogynistic. Must be banned. New term: Fourth year student
Graduate student-Has the sequence "U ate student" which implies cannibalism at worst and carnivorism at best. Must be banned. New term: Humans accumulating massive debt

So does this mean that they are doing away with freshmen beanies as well?

At what point does it make sense to email TCU / the chancellor to express the frustration with all this stupidity?

I feel like I used up all my good will with VBo bitching about baseball attendance (only for the team to completely blow it).
