BBC News: Harvard abolishes 'master' in titles
"Harvard University in the US is going to remove the word "master" from academic titles, after protests from students who claimed the title had echoes of slavery.
House masters, in charge of residential halls at the university, will become known as "faculty deans".
Harvard Law School is also deciding whether to change its official seal, because of links to slavery.
US campuses have faced a series of protests over allegations of racism.
Harvard has not accepted that the use of "master" was a link to slavery, but it has responded to a campaign for a name change."
Oh dear....
