I think we are here to get more than an education. Everyone should have a chance. They shape who we become. There should be a minimum. Certain leaders should be held to higher standards.
Intercollegiate teams are a little different.
People should be able to take responsibility for their own actions. GPA can weed out some people who may just not have the grades. I echo Chad and Laura. People with bad GPA s can make contributions. Most honoraries have additional requirements so they can t have funding for other reasons as well.
