Elon University has no freshmen.

They recently banned the word as sexist. The students formerly called freshmen are now to be called first-year students.

Princeton University is on the list.

The Tenured Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University is Peter Singer.

Among other things, he suggests that no newborn should be considered a person until 30 days after birth and that the attending physician should have the discretion to kill some disabled babies on the spot.

He once wrote: “Human babies are not born self-aware, or capable of grasping that they exist over time. They are not persons”; therefore, “the life of a newborn is of less value than the life of a pig, a dog, or a chimpanzee.”
