we aren’t setting up a situation where a B- in a foreign language or math could cost a student their bright futures scholarship.</span></div>

Dear Professor James,<br>
I write with enthusiastic support for the P/F model to finish our tumultuous Spring semester.<br>
<br>
While I admit that I am interested in the experimental modes that may be imagined and even implemented in the scramble that will continue to burden every employee of the university in the coming weeks, I do not feel that it is appropriate to share this burden
with our students.<br>
<br>
As instructors and professors across the campus roll-out experimental pedagogical strategies and technologies, I feel it is unfair to our students to ask that they not only play along as good-sports in these experiments, but also ask that they perform as scholars
to be evaluated by a traditional grading matrix, that was only applicable in a much more stable educational environment (if even then).
<br>
<br>
This seems a minor generosity for us to extend to our students and I hope that our colleagues across the Fine and Performing Arts work group will agree. <br>
<br>
Thank you for collecting faculty feedback.<br>
<br>
-Clint</div>

for this semester? Please, if you have time send me your thoughts. I want to push for it being a choice that you make – many of you have already completed a significant amount of grading and may not want to abandon it, however it will also be difficult to
navigate the nuances of the grading matrices when students are working remotely.
