The Grade Change form UD uses at George Washington University is a small white piece of paper on which you’re given one line to explain why you’ve changed a student’s grade (I know not what others may do, but as for me, these forms are almost always about changing an Incomplete to a grade after a late paper or something has been submitted).

NYU’s business school must have had to use teeny weeny writing to fit in its reason for changing Rosenthal’s grade in his Professional Responsibility course to an F:

    […] … because he has stamina and guts and epitomizes this blog category: BEWARE THE B-SCHOOL BOYS. And I’ll always be able to follow his lawsuits because I don’t think they’ll ever end. Always another effort to appeal an NYU decision to deny him his MBA because while he was a student there he was found guilty of insider trading. […]
