[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of dummy can't maintain a 3.3 GPA in undergraduate business classes?  Maybe have him skip the fraternity if you're so concerned. [/quote]
I think you're missing the main issue here. While we could debate whether the GPA threshold should be 3.0, 3.3, or 3.5, that's not really the point. The real problem is the timing. This represents a significant policy change implemented after students had already committed and paid their enrollment deposits.

Some students likely would have made different college decisions if these new requirements had been disclosed upfront. While this doesn't affect my family directly (my child doesn't attend IU), I can understand the frustration these families must be feeling.
When we were evaluating colleges, we carefully researched secondary admission requirements at every school my child considered. These policies absolutely influenced our decision-making process. A change of this magnitude would have prompted us to reach out to other schools where my child had been accepted to explore options.

The issue isn't necessarily the standards themselves, but rather the lack of transparency and poor timing of this policy change.[/quote]
