Dr. Robert H. Ebert, dean of the faculty of Medicine, moved Friday to contain debate on the issue of pass-fail grading by agreeing to create a student-faculty committee to come up with a resolution on the problem before a faculty meeting in mid-January.
Kennedy's recommendation came during a discussion by faculty of a student resolution to restore pass-fail grading to the first year and a half of Med School.
Dr. Robert S. Blacklow, associate dean for Academic Programs, said last night that both students and faculty had welcomed Kennedy's measure because it would not allow debate on pass-fail grading "to explode."
Even leaving aside this question, it is clear that the Harvard Med School faculty should restore pass-fail grading. It has received an overwhelming mandate from its students, a fact that must override other considerations.
The faculty should reinstate pass-fail grading now.
