Steve Esposito, chair of the AAC said the policy only pertains to students who have failed due to cheating. The new change in policy comes from past concerns of other students that were allowed to take a class over even if they had failed for cheating. Students were previously able to take the class with another teacher and have their passing grade replace the old one on their transcript.
Some people think the new policy is harsh on students.
Other people like the new policy such as sophomore Tiffany Massey.
