"The greater the emphasis here is on grades, in our opinion, the less it is on learning," said Troy Haas, chairman of the student government's Education Committee. "The amount of learning and grades simply do not track together," he added.
Haas said that the great majority of the estimated 15,000 recruitment interviews this year will not raise any questions about grades.
The Education Committee, in an effort to attack the grade problem at its source, has drafted several changes in the process of evaluating students, but has not settled on an acceptable alternative to the current system, Haas said.
"We object strongly to parts of the grading procedure like the forced curve, but it is very difficult to come up with an alternative which is better," Haas said.
