Strictly speaking, no one should object to this new tack taken by the professors. Nothing could be more fair. There is no invalid discrimination. The only ones who are hit are those who tutor. The student who has honestly tried and still is not able to think with originality on an examination should--hard as this may seem--get a low grade anyway.
