UW Grade Strike Off

I just received a TAA e-mail informing me that the proposed grade strike has been called off by the TAA Strike Committee, using the discretionary powers it was given when created. I think this is the right decision. If students don't get grades on time, it could have serious repercussions for their ability to move ahead with grad school and careers. While the TAA circulated a number of ideas to "officially" report grades to students without going through the university, it was becoming apparent none of them would work. The TAA will now begin coming up with new ideas aimed specifically at the state government.

UPDATE: The TAA is characterizing this move on its web site as "a gesture of thanks to those who have stood with us."
