This College’s Absurd Plan To Increase Diversity And Decrease Rapes Will Have You Lau - mikereddot - 11-23-2014
According to administrators at North Carolina’s Elon University, simply referring to female students as freshmen makes them a target for sexual predators on campus. According to a recent College Fix article, the college has dropped the label, opting instead to refer to them as ‘first-year’ students.
The school’s Inclusive Community Wellbeing Director Leigh-Anne Royster explained the labored rationale behind the decision.
“The term [freshman] has often been felt to refer to the vulnerableness of young women in college for the first time,” she alleged. “Given the rates of sexual violence perpetrated against women on college campuses, it is useful to examine any use of a term that suggests that a group of people just entering college might be targets for such violence in any way.”

Only if you are trying to be politically correct.
