If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s got a worthless Oregon Ducks degree.

Won’t be long before the delusional people who run 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.

If they get 'no grade' they can take the course again and not negatively impact their GPA.

And if this encourages more students to stick around for another semester or two, that positively affects WOU's bottom line with increased tuition revenue.

It’s pretty simple, then. I wouldn’t even consider hiring a graduate from there. Circular file.

Is there at least a time limit on how long you can park your carcass at good old Western OregonU?

Everyone goes to OSU or OU, nobody goes to WOU

Now they can attract some bad students with $$$

In further news from the university, players on the varsity baseball team who make an out when up to bat will no longer have those plate appearances counted as ‘at-bats’, as those have been found to negatively affect their batting averages.

If you read the article with a mindset of preserving university revenues, it make more sense than the smokescreen of what an F really means. Also, this says that their faculty are not able to discriminate on the basis of performance. It seems that the University's moto should be changed to:

If you can fog a mirror, you can get your degree from WOU.

Talk about failing upward!

Will fail become the new “f-word”?

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.
