Re: “This will encourage (in some) the desire to "just get bye" rather than excelling.”
No doubt.

UVA is hardly alone. I know that the ten schools in the University of California system and the 23 schools in the California State University system, all went Pass / No Pass as well. Every school I checked has done something similar: "Emergency Satisfactory" / "Emergency Unsatisfactory" at Harvard, the option to convert grades to "Special Pass" / "No Grade" AFTER seeing what their letter grades are at Clemson, etc. You're right that this does not encourage academic excellence. Why should anyone push themselves when it doesn't get rewarded?

But with vaccines commonly being required and students returning physically to most schools this Fall, I expect grading will be returning to normal. I sure hope so, anyway. I could be wrong. Liberals think grading is racist. Shouldn't everyone just get the same grade (an 'A') if they can show that they tried?

This will encourage (in some) the desire to "just get bye" rather than excelling.
