Via Campus Reform:

The Penn State 2018 Homecoming Executive Committee and Royalty Committee announced Tuesday that it will eliminate the “gendered” titles of “King” and “Queen.”

The Homecoming Court will now honor two students with the “Guide State Forward Award.”

The Homecoming and Royalty Committees will also eliminate the male-to-female ratio court representation in “an effort to embrace more diversity and gender inclusivity.” Ten representatives will now be chosen regardless of gender.

At the bottom of the Collegian’s article on the subject, there is a poll to gauge public sentiment regarding the change.
