UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (WJAC) — With the intention of being more inclusive, Penn State University is looking to drop "male-specific" words like “freshman,” “sophomore” and “upperclassmen.”
Officials say the Penn State Faculty Senate approved proposition AD84 during their final meeting of the 2020-21 academic year.
They said the approved legislation would implement the use of gender neutral and non-binary terminology in course and program descriptions.
