I saw this on the BBC News App and thought you should see it:

Harvard abolishes 'master' in titles in slavery row<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-35659685>[http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/moira/img/ios/v3/640/cpsprodpb/13BA4/production/_88440808_031148541.jpg]
Harvard University in the US is going to remove the word "master" from academic titles, after protests from students who clamed it had echoes of slavery.
