Ivy League prof: Just give everyone an AAs colleges across the country are finding ways to ease the academic burden on students amid the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, one Ivy League professor has a simple solution: “Just give every college student an automatic A.”In an op-ed for The Washington Post, Columbia University professor Jenny Davidson called on fellow professors to give all students As for the spring 2020 term.Davidson that this is necessary because the move to online learning is simply impractical and presents “inequities in the ways that this will all play out for different students,” adding that “grading as we know it is already over for the semester.””It’s time to abandon our preconceived ideas about what needs to happen in a college class for a student to get credit for it,” says Davidson.Davidson urges professors to “strip down work expectations to the bare minimum.” She insists that colleges should “introduce a mandatory pass-fail at the very least,” and seriously consider giving all students “A grades as a default.”In fact, Davidson says schools and professors should go ahead and “wrap classes up as quickly as possible” so that “students can turn their full attention to other pressing matters.”
