Opinion: Hey, Northwestern students, choose your own grade point average! – Chicago Sun-Times*

"In reality, the policy puts the bow on Northwestern’s gifting of degrees, not education. Promising credit for a hidden 'D' assures tuition payments from the wealthy students and is a cheap way to increase the likelihood that students receiving financial aid will graduate, a key metric for the university’s improvement in the national rankings."

Seems they want to not have any money coming in–No students no money.
This is how young people feel entitled–they feel they are able to get what ever they want–grade, house, salary, ETC.

I lost respect for NW a long time ago. Does a degree from this leftist indoctrination factory still have any value in the workplace?
