704 Morgan JenattonCOUSMy language professor told us today that she was told she was forbidden by the Department from giving As anymore. The highest grade we can receive this term is a B+.

712 DonnaRedlingNJUSI wholeheartedly disagree with BU's grade deflation and find it unfair to students who work and study diligently yet receive grades much lower then they deserve. I hope a compromise can be found which the student body and school administration are happy with. Personally I am unhappy that my child, who always excelled in high school finds this grading system so frustrating.

725 MichaelSwoffordI find it odd that Boston University's grading policy is not mentioned anywhere on any pamphlets to prospective students. If the policy of curving coursewide to a C+/B- is a wise choice and a great system surely the University would want to advertise it as such.

728 Sherry GhoreishiRIUSThe grading deflation at BU is awful and needs to be fixed so that students are rewarded instead of penalized for their hard work.

730 YokoChangNJUSMy daughter Julia Chang (class of 2008) was promised 4 years 50% off meritt scholarship base on attainning 3.2GPA every year. She lost her scholarship after the freshmen year as a result of the school grade deflation policy. I believe that it is illegal for BU to lure new students in with 4 years guranteed 50% meritt scholarship at 3.2GPA(B+), but never intended to give students any grad higher than 3.0 GPA(B). For any parents that are in the same situation as we do, I like to coordinate the lawsuit againt BU's grad policy to get back my daughter's well deserve hard work and half-price tuition. Please call me at 732-972-1888 between 7/24/2005~8/18/2005 or after 9/4/2005.
731 SteveChangNJUSIt is outrageous that the university only care about it's "image" without regarding the long term future of each individual student. Grade deflating is just straight out wrong, and demoralizing. I think whoever instigate this policy should be fired.

739 JessicaPedrazaFLUSI'm applying to BU for next year and their grading policy is really concerning me. We should getv the grade we work for not the grade the class should get.

741 maryannbishaiMAUSi've lost all faith in myself and in this school...
742 dorisshuI am a BU student and I have to adhere to this policy. It is extremely demoralizing and I would like to have this change for the better- for the benefit of the students and the university.

747 AnnieDowI think it's time the University starts acting like a University and thinking more about the wellfare of their students. Stop grade deflation, and if that is an impossibility, at least acknowledge it exists so we have a shot at graduate schools?
748 MelindaFoulk
749 WilliamBartonFLUSThis is a serious issue that needs to be taken into account as soon as possible. If it continues BU runs the risk of seriously reducing the amount of students who would attend.
