FYI for those who only read the headline - that is highly misleading. While I don't agree with their decision, this is only a single office (which is below the level of bureaucracy that USC has a formal review process for) - this is not a department, let alone university-wide thing.

Graddy, the university's interim provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, said in a statement to NPR. "We will continue to use words – including 'field' – that accurately encompass and describe our work and research."
