This week I am going to address one of my pet peeves. It focuses on a word that is frequently used in higher education by faculty and staff. It is also a word used in college sports and even professional sports.
I never heard the word being used in the 20 years I served in the Air Force. I was shocked to hear this word used in higher ed with regular frequency. It is insulting to those it is referring to. It is disrespectful.
This week we are going to take a look at what I consider an offensive four-letter word used in higher ed.
