I didn't know that the word "Freshman" was banned over there. Just terrible.
Duke uses the term freshmen on their own website.
http://admissions.duke.edu/experience/first-year
"Read about first-year experiences from Duke freshmen."
Anyway, hasn't UVA long used the terms "first-year", "second-year", and so forth - long before the phrase/concept politically-correct (as we know it today) came about?
There is a potential for reasonable and enlightened discussion about the implications of using particular terminology or linguistic constructs but I don't think it'll be found here or at the link.
Freshman is a person while first year is a year. Check it out at Merriam-Webster.
