Heh, no.

Markowitz and Rosner, both emeritus professors at Columbia Mailman School in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences, have studied industrial pollution and contaminants since the early 1970s and have co-authored several books.

I think these specialty schools are great, but they should probably modernize the name to be gender inclusive.

If you ever want to go to a school where you can study quietly, consider the Colorado School of Mimes.

I get that you're trying to be witty, but ... Well I don't know what to say that isn't mean. I just don't think it's funny anymore.

For the hopelessly literal and pedantic, the School is named after Joseph L. Mailman, a business person that donated a bunch of money, not a gender exclusive profession.
