A section of the Introduction and Rationale of the proposal reads as follows:

"...many terms in our lexicon carry a strong male-centric, binary character to them. Terms such as 'freshman' are decidedly male-specific, while terms such as 'upperclassmen' can be interpreted as both sexist and classist. Terms such as 'junior' and 'senior' are parallel to western male father-son naming conventions, and much of our written documentation uses he/she pronouns."

Instead, the faculty senate recommends using "first-year," "second year," "third-year" or "fourth-year" to refer to students.

If "freshman" is decidedly male specific, than what the hell is "woman"

You would have to be a complete dipshit to try to figure it out because the people who thought this up obviously are dumb as fuk.
