I am starting this petition to be signed by the students and parents of Iona College. With the semester drastically changing at a rapid pace it is important that professors understand the difficult adjustment for each individual student. Each student will be in a different environment which may not be the best suited for educational purposes. This petition is being created in hope that the academic lettering grading system will be suspended for the rest of the semester and changed to a pass or fail system. This is becoming a global pandemic which is causing much economic instability. The economic instability is leading to an unstable job market in which students families may feel pressured. Under this unique situation it is very stressful for students to focus on classes.
