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.

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

Good one. I wish all the idiot liberal activists would learn that one. I guess they might when the obedience implants are installed later...

Professors should be required to work with students, who would otherwise be at risk of failing, to create alternate means of accessing knowledge.

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.

I always thought that the only way you could fail at Oberlin was to be a Republican.

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.
