Not surprising at all, as we live in a new age, one without regard for real facts or reasoning;

"The professors are okay, but the student life and politics of Ryerson University resembles historical communist occupied Europe."
"Ryerson University is just a feminist dictatorship hellhole. Avoid enrolling there. In order to get a decent job you might have to study for a Masters or Phd and end up underemployed in Liberal paradise Ontario of incompetence, cronyism, feminism and mass unemployment."

Years ago in one of my philosophy classes the prof offhandedly theorized the institution should be called a multiversity, rather than a university. Because this is where a variety of opinions get their due. Or at least that's how it oughta be.
What can one say modern University Political Correctness.

You're right about one thing. It's a complete non-issue. So why'd he get dinged for it??? :biggrin1:
I don't often agree with Canada-man, but when I do it's usually because he pointed out someone taking stupid to the next level.
Universities have become so politically correct and tied into Corporate donors that most can no longer be called institutes of higher learning. Unless you are getting a degree in Engineering or the Sciences you're better off using the internet and the library. Save yourself thousands of dollars and put your time and money to good use. Getting indoctrinated into a Communist Marxist agenda and paying for it is dumb. Or as Frank Zappa once said...." If you want to get laid go to College. If you want to learn something. Go to the Library ".
1 mark out of 50 on one assignment. It's a non issue. And it's a useful education.
I'm willing to bet that at some point during this course this Prof issued a style guide on language relating to these words and the student ignored it.
That interview doesn't state if a style guide was provided, but that would be an interesting question Fuji as you suggest.
