           Days after we finished our finals we received the following email from the Dean of our law school which I am reposting here:

Line: 397 to 397
 Pawning occurs when you sell your license for monetary gain instead of actually using your license to be a positive force in your community. Before we can get to pawning, however, we should make sure the license is meaningful. Since law school is now required before taking the bar, it should provide the proper training/education in order to create the type of lawyers that really make a difference in society. Coming from Columbia Law School, we are among those best positioned to actually change the world for the better. Yet, we are being trained to be cogs in the machine. We deserve better. The world deserves better.

>		I will be the first to say that the grading system should change, or at least be transparent. But the premise of this thread is that there was something wrong with Dean Schizer's email. I don't think there is. Professors should get grades in on time. Period. It shouldn't take more than a month to grade 120 exams when that is the only feedback they provide all semester. There are plenty of things to be upset with the administration about. This isn't one of them.
