students that I will round up at 89.5, 79.5, 69.5 if they have improved over

All,
I'm curious what faculty have done in support of this problem on other
campuses? Have they gone on strike, refused to sign their own contracts,
discouraged students from enrolling in adjunct taught classes? What could we
do? I'm honestly asking, not just trying to make a point. I don't
