GULC Me Mick. GULC Me.

Grade inflation happens at lot of schools. Maybe even most of them. But when a prominent professor and alumna calls your grading system “such a fraud,” well that is a school we should all be lucky enough to attend.

Some highlights for people that cannot watch YouTube at work:

Van Susteren: Have you ever graded? It really is disturbing that it affects people’s lives the way it does when it is so … subjective.”

It is “disturbing” that you know how important it is, yet throw up your hands and just “give everybody A’s”

More highlights after the jump.


You have to also listen to the guy who taught at American University:

I really wanted to give all A’s, but there were some students who took advantage of the professor, did not come to class, and showed up the last day of class and expected an A from Ted Williams, and it was not happening.

Way to have standards Professor Williams. (Full disclosure: I took advantage of professors, didn’t go to class, and showed up on the last day expecting an A. It was happening! Good thing I didn’t go to American.)

On second thought, don’t pay too much attention to Williams in this clip. He’s kind of an embarrassment to … human thought.

Van Susteren also thinks that most of the students at Georgetown were smarter than her. I don’t know what to make of that. But her respect for Georgetown knows no bounds:

This may be a little bit bizarre, but in a setting, at least at Georgetown, if someone is not doing well, I think it’s the professor’s fault. The people there pay a lot of money, and they’re very aggressive and they’re hard workers.

So that’s the ticket. As long as you are a rich, diligent, asshole, you’ll have a stunning transcript coming out of GULC.
