November 11,1992 - CLC Observer - Page 11 EDITORIAL 6 CLC OVERSHADOWED AGAIN! The administration at Rose Hill recently combined a report of grades distributed at all four undergraduate colleges. The report was prompted by "noticeable differences" in the distribution of grades for all four campuses. In the spring of 1992,22.81 percent of College at Lincoln Center students received A's, 10.22 percent of Fordham College students, 20.03 percent of the College of Business and 29.21 percent of the School of General Studies. The only "noticeable difference" was that of Rose Hill, whose distribution was roughly half of the distribution of the other three schools. The Rose Hill administration has asked that all the Deans discuss their grading procedures, their traditional grading procedures. David Malcolm, Associate Dean of CLC noted that adjunct grad- LAND ing is usually higher than that of full time professors, who are more fully aware of the traditional grading procedures. SALE PROFIT! This report and review of grading procedures raise serious questions. Is it just unbelievable that Fordham College does not compare with the other three sister schools? Are Rose Hill students expected to be smarter? Should the distribution of grades have reflected a higher average for Rose Hill, would there have been doubt of professor's grading and of student's abilities? Once again CLC is being overshadowed by Rose Hill, our achievements being made to look insignificant. Underneath this investigation rests the belief that Fordham College accepts stu- dents with higher qualifications, who are thus expected to do 111111111 better. lllllllllll IIIwII11 It is unfair to expect that full-time students at Fordham College JllllllllIlll should have higher averages than part-time students at CLC.
