A&S Tribunal helps students form a voice on campus

February 2, 2022

In early 2020, after COVID-19 moved classes online, the University of Cincinnati implemented a pass/fail option. This allowed students who were worried about the effect of a low grade on their GPA to choose to have their instructor either pass or fail them, thus ensuring that remote learning wouldn’t reflect on their record. (Separated the ideas up a bit) The College of Arts & Sciences was one of the first colleges to adopt the pass/fail option, and eventually, each college on UC’s campus would adopt the policy. The A&S Tribunal, the College of Arts & Sciences’ student-led governing body, was instrumental in the implementation of this policy.    Isabel Slonneger, Vice President of the A&S Tribunal, recalls the purpose of the pass/fail initiative: “Tribunal is for advocating on behalf of students,” she says. Pass/fail has been vital for students, especially those who do not thrive in an online learning environment.     The pass/fail initiative is only one of many initiatives that the A&S Tribunal spearheads. As the student government for the College of Arts & Sciences, the Tribunal works to represent students and their needs and make changes that will benefit both. Any A&S student can join the Tribunal, and it’s one step closer to making connections, new friends and changes that matter on UC’s campus. (nut graf)
