I say eliminate college. Everybody is equal.
Speechless.
Insanity
Why not just hand over your student loan checks and the university hands over your diploma?
That’s pretty much what they’re doing anyway.
The important thing is that the universities get to harvest all the student loan money they can before they bury themselves in debt elsewhere.
well Oberlin was the first college to accept female students so they want to remain THE progressive institution...
and basket weaving should have a pass fail grade..
and A for showing up etc
and A+ for writing a name any name on a test paper...
In a perfect world, they would receive a loud ‘no’ and then get a good slap and a push out the door.
To be fair grades above average should be eliminated too. Try getting into a good grad school with a 2.0.
” I’m going home, back to the ’hood of Chicago, to be exactly who I was before I came to Oberlin.” “
Except for that pesky $50,000 college loan balance.
Karl Marx isn't LEFT enough for them!
“...a number of exhausted activists at Oberlin. They perceive that other students, faculty members, and the administration are completely against them, and have made it impossible for them to live on campus. Some are dropping out.”
Good! At least the system is working somewhere.
Sounds to me the next crop of welfare recipients will be college educated.
A resume with an Oberlin degree is automatically round-filed.
If you abolish below average grades, don’t you by definition also abolish above average grades?
I predict that resumes from Oberlin grads will start going straight to the round file.
“We pretend to study and they pretend to issue us diplomas”
the “college” in my town (Evergreen State College), does not have grades. They have “evaluations” that is a written discussion between them and their prof, and in some courses, student peer review.
Problem is, employers have no clue how a chem major (for example) did in their course work.
Wouldn’t you love to have a chemist in your testing lab who was liked by their fellow students but couldn’t tell a dropper pipette from a molecule?
Colleges are the Petri dish for cancerous communism.
A great purge is needed.
When the bogus Black Lives Matter protests started in Cleveland, it wasn't local blacks populating the protests. It was students bussed in from suburban colleges, most noticeably Oberlin, who knew what was best for inner city blacks. They were totally used suckers used to ignite the movement.
Then, a little later, they found out they were in danger of failing courses because of missed classes or exams or whatever. So they demanded to be let off the hook for that. (so much for commitment to a cause and making sacrifices).
These prima donnas are already a pathetic joke. So now they want bad grades to be disallowed. GIVE ME A BREAK. Oberlin used to be a highly thought of college.
Someone’s special snowflake doesn’t understand what average means.
