Bobby D'Boopti?I feel like I am missing the joke on the Italian nicknames. Is there a story behind the bit? Did I miss an important thread somewhere?
What kind of money are you talking about? You act like changing things on websites thru WordPress is some sort of expensive process. A few written materials need changing, however those things are printed yearly anyway.Please explain the money spent making this change and why it’s necessary. I would love to know and recognize you are far more plugged into these types of things.

I would assume all in house.Does TCU not use an outside web company? Is it all in-house? I never said the cost was millions, but in my view, an extra $10K of money/salary time is a total waste for this change. It doesn't make sense.
$10k? 3 interns, 5 cases of beer. Done.Does TCU not use an outside web company? Is it all in-house? I never said the cost was millions, but in my view, an extra $10K of money/salary time is a total waste for this change. It doesn't make sense.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back...I have taken several mental laps around some of the completely moronic comments in this thread.

In a vacuum, how we refer to a fist year college student isn't that important to me but I have long since stopped viewing any one component of the modern left in a vacuum because it has become obvious that there are pretty much no boundaries as to the American culture, history and experience that they are not willing to destroy if given the chance. In the last year, I think we've seen they are no longer willing to take the long view and accept victory and defeat in the ordinary political process but are willing to resort to attempts to game the electoral system, censorship, and even violence and destruction to get their way. So, spare me the outrage if some people choose to express their displeasure on a message board or stop giving their hard-earned money to the academic side of an institution that has become antithetical to their values.
I talked to a higher-up. She told me that this was done, as the article states, “to push for inclusive excellence”. More about persons starting classes late in life, not about gender. Most people had associated the word, “freshman” with 18-19 year olds. When a brave veteran on the GI bill shows up, “first year” made sense, and isnt always followed by a chuckle. How damn American TCU is!!! I couldn’t be more proud of my beloved, god fearing university!!!
I really wish maniac would show some respect for our heroes.
Steels oldest entered UT with 46 hours credit that she accepted. She never at any point in her career gave one dogcrap whether she was labeled a freshman or a geezer. Anyone who cares about that is a moron.As a retired military officer, I'm really skeptical that this is the reason. Wasn't a big deal to be a freshman to all the grizzled Viet Nam vets I attended TCU with; doubt it chafes the ass of many current vets.
A more reasonable explanation is that many high schools around the country (including every high school ISD where I live) now offer programs that allow HS students to accumulate up to two year's worth of college credit while still in high school. (Not uncommon for a student to walk the stage and receive both their HS degree and an Associate's Degree.)
The last student I personally recruited to attend TCU was such a person. She graduated with 2 year's worth of college credit, and it really irritated her that while she essentially entered TCU as a "Junior" hours-wise, she was labeled a freshman.
I'm glad the girl you recruited will no longer be irritated by the condescending label she had to endure.As a retired military officer, I'm really skeptical that this is the reason.

And Wog-ettsWogs?
While I couldn't give two tiny little craps what TCU calls students with under 24 hours of credit, I find it completely laughable that such a change is needed for "inclusive excellence."
The sarcasm is palpable...I'm glad the girl you recruited will no longer be irritated by the condescending label she had to endure.
