Push back in higher ed continues.

UPDATE: UNC Provost says professor cannot withhold hold grades in solidarity with Palestine. Cites "our contract with the people of North Carolina

This is how leftist brains work. They are going to protest someone else actions by making your life miserable or forcing you to protest against your will.

Sounds like a good way to get rid of the commie professors.

How does making students wait for a final grade have any affect or connection to the conflict

Wait. Their plan is to punish the students because UNC broke-up their protest of Israel's actions in Gaza?

I'm not following the logic.

Whatever the cause, it makes no sense to do something to cause harm indiscriminately and not even targeted at whoever you are trying to coerce or punish.

If someone is on the fence or doesn't care about your cause has their graded withheld, you are just motivating them to support your opponent.

Students may not care, but Admin has to do batch processing for financial aid, class rank, scholarship eligibility, etc. it’s a big pain for admin.

Provosts tend to be on edge and send lots of reminders at the end of the semester even if there isn’t a planned delay

Study abroad in Palestine.

They are so civilized.

Probably have an LGBTQ platoon in Hamas.

They could say, “Strap-on, we ridin’,” as they mount there camels.

"This decision will have no impact on your GPA"

maybe I'm not the smartest guy. But let's say my GPA is a 3.0 and I have an A in that class. Wouldn't that increase my GPA if he reported that grade?

The registrar can override that nonsense at my institution.

Faculty Senate can protest. Provost says "pound sand".

The inmates are running the asylum, and it is becoming more outrageous every day.
