Where is that coming from????

I don't think anybody has suggested we are "no longer
going to issue ANY grades".

There's a proposal on the table to permit pass/fail
grading of a limited number of out-of-major electives
at the college level.  That's a far cry from no grades
at all.

Let's not waste time setting up and knocking down
straw-men.  Extremism and exaggeration are not helpful.
