Some colleges will, some won’t. Business will continue looking for performers. Politicians will continue to eyeball interns....

A “D-” grade has always been nothing more than
a gift wrapped “F” and the student always knows the truth.

“...Leftist institutions like this will be awarding “participation grades” resulting in “participation diplomas” to students who just can’t cut it in a normal college curriculum.”
It’s all about the Franklin’s

This is Gen Z’s way to devalue the accomplishments of those who preceded Gen Z.

One more reason to not hire a “graduate” of an Oregon school.

Might want to check if your doctor or pilot is a graduate from Oregon in the future.

Some posters here confuse Western Oregon University with the much larger University of Oregon.
Wikipedia says that Western Oregon University currently has 3,746 students. University of Oregon has 23,202 students.

Their concern is mainly keeping students on the rolls and bringing in the cash.

Wasn’t there a NC college giving athletes credits for phantom PE classes? I thought “Why not phantom physics classes? Or literature? “

They should just go ahead and say, Hey pay us $140-$220k and you can choose your degree, no muss, no fuss, no classes.

OK. Let’s also ignore the IRS, it has a 13th-Amendment fixation.

We see evidence of unqualified people just about everywhere

Great accomplishment.

Because failing is SO hard on the self-esteem. Nobody should fail in school or in life. (/s)
Bring back Gene Kranz to right our failing ship: "Failure is not an option" (yeah, I know it was made up for the movie based on script writer interviews of NASA folks)
