During Coming out Week, A

Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893

Volume 122, Issue 90 dailytarheel.com Thursday, October 9, 2014 DURING COMING Transcripts will show OUT WEEK, A WIN how easy that A was Contextualized grades will now appear on transcripts. By Liz Bell Staff Writer

At the end of this semester, UNC students’ transcripts will give a more complete picture of how they performed in classes this fall. Instead of lone letter grades, each grade will be accompanied by that course section’s size, the median grade in the section, the students’ per- centile range from the median and the number of grades above, at and below the median score. Gidi Shemer, a biology professor, said contextualized grading is a big step for both UNC professors and students. “Now for the very first time, UNC is brave enough to take such initiative to think not just short-term, but long-term, for the benefit of the students,” he said. Each new transcript will also include a Schedule Point Average, which averages the median grades of the courses a student is taking that semester. Andrew Perrin, a sociology professor, said the addition of these elements makes transcripts more honest. He said he has been pushing for the policy since the mid-2000s. DTH/MATT RENN UNC’s Faculty Council passed the initial A panel of undergraduate and graduate students share their coming-out experiences Wednesday for the LGBTQ Center’s Coming Out Week. proposal in 2010 and approved details of the project in 2011.

By Charles Talcott Staff Writer

Supporters of Sen. Kay Hagan and Republican challenger Thom Tillis are embroiled in a mud- slinging fight as the two contenders in the North Carolina U.S. Senate race fend off alleged ethics violations. Claude Pope, N.C. GOP chairman, sent a letter Monday to the senate ethics committee requesting an investigation of Hagan’s support for and actions following the passing of the 2009 stimulus bill. Republicans say Hagan used her political position to help JDC Manufacturing, a company co- owned by Hagan’s husband, secure stimulus money. “I think it should raise serious questions for anyone who is considering voting for Sen. Hagan,” said Will Allison, a N.C. GOP spokesman, in an email. “Taking taxpayer dollars from a law she voted for … looks like the very definition of corruption.” But Sadie Weiner, a Hagan spokeswoman, said the complaint was frivolous. “The ethics committee hasn’t announced any investigation, Kay has not been notified that there is any investigation and the N.C. GOP is being DTH/LAUREN DALY intentionally misleading in this regard,” she said in Marty Hanks, creator of Just Bee Apiary, a bee farm just outside of downtown Chapel Hill, checks on his honeybees on Wednesday afternoon. an email.
