University Sends 'Fear of God' Letter to Students With Senioritis (New York Times)

<p>

Of course it didn’t have specific numbers - since the extra-curricular qualifications of the students are consider as well, why suddenly decide to have thresholds now? It did mention specifically failing any class, being disciplined by the school, or committing any crimes as possible deal-breakers. </p>

Welcome to the real world. Students are expected to learn, and information is still being taught. Like the Sewanee representative mentioned, their study skills will atrophy. A whole semester of slacking off plus summer is equal to about 8 months of not using study skills, and THEN they’re going to jump into college? </p>

<p>It’s mentioned that rescinding happens very rarely, meaning that if someone is SO undisciplined that they received one, they probably weren’t ready for college. Let’s say as a college student, you’re a pre-med student who finds out they got into med school. So then you stop doing work in your courses. Do you think that nothing was taught that you need to be ready for med school?</p>
