The Academy in the Pandemic
We've moved as a university to pass/fail for student classes.
Sort of, anyway -- we give the students grades and then the students get to decide whether to keep these grades, changed them to P/F, or withdraw from the class entirely.
I kind of like this, and think maybe we should do it always, not just during the pandemic.
What do y'all think?

We have done the same; unfortunately, unless the grad/professional world agrees to it, it can't go on, because a lot of science grad programs and REALLY a lot of med schools won't accept pass fail courses to fulfill admissions requirements.
That's true. And too bad.
I like how students have the option to discard a course if they didn't do well -- that could encourage students to retake classes until they have mastered the information.
I think this is an incredibly sane idea!
