Grades and Tribulations

Got an email a while back from a certain administrator in the department. Seems there was a problem with the way I do grades. The problem is, I want to be fair. They want to do everything they can to inflate grades in order to boost their popularity numbers and make themselves look good. I used to be under the impression that most university administrators, especially those who used to be professors and teachers themselves, were supposed to be against such dishonest practices. Apparently, I'm in the minority--people who actually put integrity over self-promotion. And of course, I can't actually argue because my contract is semester-to-semester, and I'm not at all convinced that they aren't so petty as to not renew it. After all, they've done it in the past. Anyone who publicly disagrees with their policies finds themselves sans job. And people think college professors are all liberal and above such things. HA!
