<p>The “fairness” issue is the fact that the school calculated Lucy’s GPA incorrectly, in that it invents a 3 digit number for a value that is significant only to 2 digits, which then prevents her from maintaining a scholarship that she earned. </p>
<p>(I tried to present the converse scenario for Desi, in which by virtue of having his B+ grades scored as 3.7 instead of 3.67, and then similarly calculating the GPA to 3 digits, he gets the benefit of the incorrect calculation and keeps a scholarship he did not earn. I did not get it right although I am pretty sure it can be done.)</p>
<p>Boy, first we had ethics, then feelings, now aesthetics. It is apparently difficult for many to grasp but it is none of the above - its math.</p>
