will colleges do away with bachelor’s degrees and master’s degrees, due to the potentially offensive nature of those terms???

And I, for one, am tired of the opprobrium heaped upon the PhD. "Pile it higher and deeper," indeed. I am offended. Most of us make sure that every stolen thought and fact in our documents are properly footnoted so the only charge that can be leveled against us is dull, boring, unoriginal grad-grinds and leaches on society. At least we are not the worst of all offenders, plagiarists who reiterate thoughts that were not only original with themselves, but not even original with the person they stole it from.

On another side of this issue, Jesse Jackson was awarded a "Master of Divinity Degree." Try to get your PC head around that one!

I believe it entirely depends on how those terms make people feel.
