Trinity College Dublin announced<\/a> this week that they would be dropping usage of the term \u201cfreshman\u201d because it contains the word \u201cman.\u201d In a statement, the university announced that the changed is being made to celebrate 100 years of women\u2019s suffrage in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Trinity College Dublin announced this week that they would be dropping usage of the term \u201cfreshman\u201d because it contains the word \u201cman.\u201d In a statement, the university announced that the changed is being made to celebrate 100 years of women\u2019s suffrage in Ireland.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we approach 100 years of women\u2019s suffrage in Ireland in 2018,\u201d the statement read, \u201cit is timely to reflect on changes in our student body since \u201cFreshman\u201d first came into use, and to ensure those changes are reflected in the name we give them.\u201d<\/p>\n

In place of \u201cfreshman,\u201d the term \u201cfresh\u201d will be used. Trinity College Student Union President Kevin Keane called the change \u201cvery sensible.\u201d He suggested that the Student Union as a whole supported the change.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrinity College can be an intimidating place for new students so anything that can be done to reduce that is important and welcome,\u201d Keane said in a comment. \u201cWe want Trinity to be as inclusive as possible.\u201d
Colleges around the world are slowly letting go of the \u201cfreshman\u201d label. In an informational document published by Penn State University in 2008, it was argued that the term \u201cfreshman\u201d does not accurately describe modern-day student bodies.<\/p>\n

\n

The word \u201cfreshman\u201d is slowly being replaced by the term \u201cfirst-year student\u201d on college campuses. As more and more nontraditional students enroll in college, the word \u201cfreshman\u201d does not adequately describe new students on campus. \u201cFirst year\u201d is a much more encompassing and flexible term. \u201cFreshman\u201d refers to the traditional, fresh-out-of-high-school student. While the word does not necessarily have a bad connotation, it is not truly representative of the population, which is a variety of students, including nontraditional, international, transfer, and traditional students beginning their first year on the college campus.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
