I’m all for a professor who isn’t afraid to flunk a lousy student, but this is ridiculous: “Citing seven classes in which 83 to 95 percent of his students got a D or F...”

He’s not teaching at MIT.

Flunking 9 out of 10 students isn’t the answer. Bonus quizzes aren’t. Remedial instruction, maybe? Nah, that might COST something.

Do the laws of chemistry or biology change at MIT? Facts are facts. Why not make NSU as good as MIT rather just another school for shirkers?
