Grading System Policy: Plus-Minus Letter Grading System -- Proposed by Student Affairs Committee Per the Faculty Senate request at
the meeting of March 5, the committee reviewed and discussed at length
the proposal to implement a Plus-Minus Grading System in place of the
current Grading System. The committee unanimously rejected support of
the current proposal and concluded overall all that it would not be
beneficial for WSU to implement any Plus-Minus Grading System. Many
issues were raised and discussed in this regard and in such it was
apparent that not even Student Government was cognizant of some or all
of the potential harmful effects of such a grading system.
