This winter, the student members of the Committee on Educational Affairs (CEA) brought an argument that the College should adopt a mandatory Credit/No Credit (C/NC) grading policy for students in their first semester at the College. On April 3, faculty were informed about this argument, which will be a topic of discussion at the faculty meeting this afternoon.

RESUMEN: La biología enfrenta una grave amenaza de las políticas “progresistas” que están cambiando la forma en que se realiza nuestro trabajo, delimitando áreas de la biología que son tabú y no serán financiadas por el gobierno ni publicadas en revistas científicas, estipulando qué palabras deben evitar los biólogos en su redacción, y decretando cómo se enseña biología a los estudiantes y se comunica a otros científicos y al público a través de la prensa técnica y popular.

SUMMARY: Biology faces a grave threat from “progressive” politics that are changing the way our work is done, delimiting areas of biology that are taboo and will not be funded by the government or published in scientific journals, stipulating what words biologists must avoid in their writing, and decreeing how biology is taught to students and communicated to other scientists and the public through the technical and popular press.
