Result Killed By Committee
Remarks FAILED - TA's must have Bachelor's degrees, and many have Masters' or are pre-Doctoral, so are qualified to grade papers.
Whereas TA's do not have the experience to grade papers or essays; and
Whereas Professors are the ones paid to grade papers; and
Whereas Grades are the way Professors evaluate students.
Be It Further Resolved That TA's not be allowed to grade papers or essays; and
Be It Further Resolved That TA's will be allowed to administer multiple choice exams only.
