Students
Debate Credit System
by Michelle Sharkey
A heated debate ensued Wednesday when a proposal was suggested to
replace Oberlin Colleges Credit/No Entry grading system with
a standard grading scale. A group of about thirty students gathered
at the student forum held this week by the Educational Plans and
Policies Committee (EPPC) to discuss three major policy changes
the committee is proposing. The purpose of a student forum, which
was announced a week ago via an OCMR notice, is to elicit student
input before the EPPC makes its recommendations to the College faculty.
The proposals must pass a faculty vote to become a part of college
policy. Though the EPPC does take students views into account
in making its recommendations, there is no mandate that they must
do so. The recommended policy changes will most likely be voted
upon in April, though any approved changes will take years to come
into effect.
