At Oberlin College this week, the president rejected a petition signed by more than 1,000 students demanding no failing grades this semester. Student activism over decisions by grand juries not to indict police officers for the deaths of unarmed back men in Missouri and New York remains strong. And unlike most student protest movements, this one has extended into finals -- and has some students asking for flexibility on grades or exams, and others taking the unusual step of protesting in libraries during a period when student stress about academics is high.

It says:
"I would really like to see the normal grading system suspended for this semester and replaced with a no-fail mercy period. Administrators should require professors to exercise complete flexibility in what students are saying they can produce academically. Require that every professor listen to what their students are saying and if that means rather than writing a paper students instead meet with their professor to simply discuss in groups their paper topics or if tests are taken collectively with professors there are ways to make sure we are learning what we are supposed to be learning in ways that are not so taxing in times like this. Students in this moment should have complete access to alternative modes of learning while we process what's happening. Basically, no student especially black students and students of color should be failing a class this semester. A 'C' should be the lowest grade students can receive this semester. Professors should be required to work with students, who would otherwise be at risk of failing, to create alternate means of accessing knowledge."

Whining losers!
trying to make a college degree more worthless then they are.
Don’t you have to work really hard to fail a college course these days? With grade inflation, a ‘gentleman’s C’ is now a B.
Flunk them all. They should learn that their actions have consequences.
They have learned a lesson. Actions have consequences. If that is the only thing they learn at college then their college experience will not be a total waste.
They were just taught three of the most important lessons of life - (1) consequences have actions, (2) responsibilities come first; fun second, and (3) you can’t always do what you want...
Yeah, but this is the “everybody gets a trophy just for showing up” generation.
That is one impressive run on sentence...
#Fail

(4) Don’t get used as a pawn to further some other scum bags agenda.
not to worry....... all the students need is $25,000 and they can retake the semester
If they have no more Oberlin, then let them have Community college
Not for those of us who refuse to go along with it.
Like this college president.

Good one. I wish all the idiot liberal activists would learn that one. I guess they might when the obedience implants are installed later...
In other words - they don't want to LEARN, they just want to "access knowledge".
Well, they will have free access t the knowledge that protesting instead of studying leads one to repeat courses.
“to create alternate means of accessing knowledge.”
Give every student a B.A. if they can log on to the internet. in other words.
I always thought that the only way you could fail at Oberlin was to be a Republican.
A lot of scholarships are tied to GPA. Gonna break my heart if some of these idiots lost theirs . . .
I have no sympathy for these confused pampered college student idiot leftists. Not only should they be failed, they should be expelled. Stop whining...grow up.
Real life has deadlines. Try telling your boss you didn’t get your work done because you were protesting!
No fail for failures!
Nothing but little fascists who are unable to survive in a meritocracy.
