Students Debate Credit System
by Michelle Sharkey

A heated debate ensued Wednesday when a proposal was suggested to replace Oberlin College’s Credit/No Entry grading system with a standard grading scale. A group of about thirty students gathered at the student forum held this week by the Educational Plans and Policies Committee (EPPC) to discuss three major policy changes the committee is proposing. The purpose of a student forum, which was announced a week ago via an OCMR notice, is to elicit student input before the EPPC makes its recommendations to the College faculty. The proposals must pass a faculty vote to become a part of college policy. Though the EPPC does take students’ views into account in making its recommendations, there is no mandate that they must do so. The recommended policy changes will most likely be voted upon in April, though any approved changes will take years to come into effect.
