dropping standards
Authored by: standards on Tuesday, May 17 2005 @ 02:12 PM CDT
It is disasterous when a university has a dropout goal.
Because this sends the message that we students don't need to do shit, and still have fair chances of getting away with it. Standards drop and quality suffers when this happens.

Perhaps the reason the faculty got so worried is because droppout rate corresponds to lost revenue. For all the rhetoric about academic excellence, what the faculty wants is cash.

This should worry all math students. Grade inflation and damage to UW Math reputation hurts everybody who has B.Math,
just like inflation hurts anybody with hard-earned cash
