Hey yall! In light of the administration deciding to extend the S/NC deadline in April instead of universalizing S/NC - send emails to college@brown.edu to try to get them to make it universal! Reopening the deadline late into the semester means S/NCing a class is just going to be seen by employers/grad schools as a sign that you were doing badly anyway. It might not be possible to change things at this point, but on behalf of the students who come from unstable homes and all the other students who are going to be severely affected by the online shift, we owe it to our classmates to try!
For foks who want a template/want to see a fuller case for universal s/nc, here's a link to the email I wrote:

.The Mandatory S/NC folks have positioned themselves to make it seem like they are the ""morally just"" way to proceed with academics and smother any legitimate discussion about the merits of alternative grading schemes by effectively labeling those who disagree as not standing for the disadvantaged. Many people are afraid to state their preferences for alternatives to compulsory S/NC because they don't want to be labeled in another way due to campus cancel culture. The fact of the matter is that many folks don't agree with universal pass and many, in particular those who are disadvantaged, have made many valid claims against it. But nobody is comfortable speaking out, and the UP folks know that. There's really no way to argue against it without putting yourself in the crosshairs of folks who have painted themselves as those on the moral high ground. "

Sorry if this has been proposed, but why not combine Universal Pass with Choice Matters? Let people choose whether they want to take classes S/NC but guarantee that everyone will pass their class. Not everyone has to choose to take classes S/NC, but at the very least they won’t fail. This sounds like a fair middle ground, so that no one has to worry about failing a class or letter grades during these times, but those who want to receive letter grades can do that as well. "

Mandatory S/NC does more than enough to level the playing field without making a passing grade worthless. Universal Pass, though well intentioned, goes too far. If a student is unable to pass a class given that they are disproportionately affected by these circumstances, then they should receive an incomplete and be allowed to test out of it at a later time (hopefully after Brown gives them additional resources over the summer). Allowing students to pass regardless of if they truly understand the material of a class helps no one. It hurts the student further down the road and makes the passing grade of everyone else meaningless. I understand how difficult this situation is for everyone, and how it is much more difficult for some than for others. That being said, I believe mandatory s/nc is the best solution because it essentially does the same thing without having people that received a failing grade be shuttled through to higher level classes without the requisite foundations.
I do want to acknowledge that this perspective is coming from a position of privilege, and I am open to being more educated about the universal pass platform. "

How can UCS claim to be a representative of all students while also attempting to force UP over choice, when they knowingly admit student groups of ""virtually equal size (are) fighting for each of these options"". It seems like instead of being a faithful representative of the student body, the Exec Board of UCS is choosing to inject their personal agendas and be partisan about a very divisive issue. Many students and I want to know who on Exec Board voted for this endorsement, so we can vote accordingly...

I am wondering what proponents of Universal Pass would say to a plan to ""freeze"" grades prior to Spring Break and make those the semester grades for students. A universal pass policy takes a way any external incentive students would have to study anyways, so why not give students credit for the work they've already done?
Of course, grades in the first half of the semester are not a perfect representation of semester performance (because there are more assignments and exams to be completed), but as far as I know most people tend to perform similarly across a semester, barring extenuating circumstances. Of course, freezing grades is not a perfect solution; to me, however, it seems to avoid the equity problems that optional S/NC engenders, as well as the issues with universal pass (no letter grades for students who need them). It seems that providing a reasonable estimation of students' grades is more fair than completely wiping out everyone's work for the semester.
I'm genuinely curious what Brown students think about this. I feel like there is an increasing polarization between die-hard S/NC optional students and die-hard Universal Pass students and that maybe both sides need to realize that there are large groups that are negatively affected by either proposal and that an ideal grading policy should mitigate as much harm as possible, for as many people as possible.
(and yes I know that Brown's decision is most likely final but I'm still curious about people's thoughts)
