[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 3014988, member: 61297"] Yes, a trend started ….. checks notes ….. in 1998 by the “bastion of liberalism” University of [I] South Carolina* [/I] Regardless of there being a gender term within the word “freshmen”, schools have moved toward the term “first year” over 2+ decades in a push to better include transfer and non-traditional students in the university community. TCU may be making this announcement about a formal change, but they’ve effectively done this for years — i.e. the office of “First Year Experience.” Expanding programs historically reserved for “freshmen” to all “first year students” is proven to increase not only a sense of community and inclusion for all students, but also retention and persistence/graduation rates (thereby reducing debt without degree and positively impacting university recruitment and rankings). Your incessant whining lacks context, reflects total ignorance, and is a desperate attempt to make literally everything all about your political persuasion and an outlet to express political rage. Shut the scheiss up and go read something. Ignorance is a choice you have made, but it’s not one you have to keep making. * See [URL]https://journals.psu.edu/mentor/article/view/61495/61147[/URL] [/QUOTE]
