The terms Lent and Easter have been cancelled by a top UK university in a drive to abolish Christian terminology - as critics brand it ‘virtue-signalling nonsense’

Described as the latest move by a leading 'woke' university, London School of Economics has made the decision to overhaul three term titles in a bid to become more “international”.

A format replicated by other historic institutions including Cambridge and Oxford, LSE is now set to do away with tradition in favour of a rebrand. Now, the university's revamped terms are set to align with its "broader global engagement" according to a spokesperson. From next year, Michaelmas will be renamed “autumn term”, Christmas is set to be renamed “winter break”, Lent term will become “winter term” and Easter break “spring break”.
