Dartmouth Students Storm President's Offices, Seriousness of Demands Unclear

Wait, why did they say "Latin@"? What does that even mean?

@ has elements of both an 'a' and an 'o' in the way it looks so it's intended to be a (sadly unpronounceable) gender-neutral shorthand for situations where for whatever reason people don't want to use the word 'Hispanic'. I'm seeing it more and more often these days.

I hadn't seen it before, but I understood it.  It would seem to me however if one wants an explicitly gender-neutral way to express the idea in English that "Latin" would be better than "Latin@".

Very cogent, except that '&' is the ampersand, not the '@'.  Indeed, there is no single name for the symbol.  I suspect that Dartmouth students who made this manifesto would recoil from calling it the "commercial at sign".  They might go with some of the more fanciful names that have been proposed such as "ampersat".

     It annoys me too. These people are allegedly educated, and yet their grasp of language and its use is execrable. Most of them probably couldn't even identify the origin of that word.
