Maybe now my administration will ease up on the constant pressure on me to ease up on standards. I doubt it, though. Citing the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse in 2007, or the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in 1940, invariably bounced off without discernible effect.
The same logic for pre-med students applies. Then again, in general, if we don't have standards, we're sending a bunch of people to the workforce with inflated grades and inflated expectations of how good they are. How long before the workforce catches on?
