Yeah in context it makes sense. If you’ve received no tuition for a semester you shouldn’t be penalized for that. Maybe an average of your previous grades is fairer but that won’t work for everyone. Maybe the university should have thought about this before pushing the staff to strike!

(if you’re against the students getting made up grades I get it but your objection here really has to be too for-profit universities. These people are customers of a high priced product as well as students, there are so many ways it doesn’t make sense)
