U of Michigan degrees will no longer be worth the paper they’re printed on…

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN JUST WENT FULL PARTICIPATION TROPHY

Incoming students will no longer get real grades.

Just “Pass” or “No Credit.”

All in the name of “mental health.”

No more A’s. No more F’s. No distinction between the kid who worked his arse off and the one who barely showed up.

They’re turning a competitive university into expensive daycare.

In a world where kids from other countries are grinding for every point, Michigan just decided effort doesn’t matter.

Soft school. Soft standards. Soft future.

This is how you raise a generation that can’t handle reality.

There is no doubt we are on the cusp of a major collapse as a civilization. Muzzies already ready to take over.

There are lots of reasons to be pessimistic.

Okay then don’t enjoy your life and sit there and dwell about it all day. That’s fun

I believe MIT has been doing this for freshmen since at least the '70s

I was told by an MIT grad that they were doing this at least 30 years ago for the freshmen (either pass or fail) to keep them from mental collapse because so many were used to being the best academically that any grade below an A would destroy them psychologically.

College is such a waste for 90% of folks

Just speed run ChatGPT/claude everything and take worthless classes all for the excuse to party

Not much learning anymore

Kind of sad honestly .

Especially when there's every reason to be pessimistic.

upside is there are so many that you can't cover all of them, so you don't have to worry about those!

The idea of a 'Michigan MAN' is now considered toxic.

I don't understand how one of the most prominent institutions in this country, continues to self-destruct.
