All credits can be appealed. That is, if a student is prepared to challenge the adjudicators, and if they felt that they had a case, then I would hope firmly that they would indeed challenge. To do so is the real spirit of GE 2000. The challenging and the seeking, and not the automatic acceptance, with a shrug, of what we are looking for. And what is good for the goose is, as they say, good for the gander. Anyone else is at liberty to also appeal, that is if they feel a miscarriage has been done by the over awarding of credits. Or some outrage brings into question someone's level of human education. I am thinking here of hate crimes.
An example comes to us from London. Back in 1997, a certain Mr. Menson was set upon by a gang of whites, doused in fuel and (eventually) burnt to death. On the academic grounds of gross violation of Basic Education any graduation held would be rescinded, and indeed probably never reinstated. But please, common sense here; not the litigation style of the US. Short, sharp decisions. No backlogs.
