A Nashville university is embroiled in a grade-fixing scandal. There are allegations that hundreds of grades were intentionally changed, not by students but by Tennessee State University administrators.

The TSU chapter of the American Association of University Professors claimed "someone in the administration initiated a large number of grade changes (hundreds) in general education math courses (the grades were changed from I to C).

But, TSU President Portia Shields said that's absolutely false. Shields said what really happened was teachers were just trying to follow new state guidelines that prevent faculty from handing out "incompletes" as frequently as they did before.

Hmmm......"just trying to follow new state guidelines that prevent faculty from handing out incompletes as frequently as they did before......

Apparently TN State was "handing" incompletes so "frequently" that it was maybe suspicious.....



However........math can be pretty tough for some folks.....

Yeah, I mentioned it on the MEAC Board and the chief SWAC Hater (Tighteye) gave some "logical" :confused: explanation.
