Hyper PC Hag

From what I hear the alumni are up in arms about this. Unfortunately, now that they are tied to the “Hyper Liberal” PAC 12, I can see them caving to the pressure. This hag is why academia is failing miserably…..teach…..don’t bitch!

The University of Utah (U of U) is “seriously” considering changing its 110-year-old fight song over concerns that the title “Utah Man” is sexist and the phrase “our coeds are the fairest” is racist.

The school’s student government voted unanimously to change the song in March, and the proposal will go before the school’s diversity committee and the academic senate before being sent to the board of trustees for a vote.

One of the recommended changes is to change “Utah Man” to “Utah Fan.”

Professor Joanna Yaffe said she sees not only sexism in the song but also racism — explaining that a line which states that the school’s “coeds are the fairest” could be interpreted as a reference to skin color.

“I don’t think I’m being hyper-PC, I’m just thinking about not really being included in the song,” Yaffe, an adjunct professor of psychiatry, said in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune.
