Local News in Brief : Grade Raffle Discussion
About 200 worried students closeted themselves with instructors Wednesday in an effort to prevent a reputed raffle for grades in the pan-African studies department from damaging the overall minority learning program at Cal State Northridge.
Afterward, both students and faculty declined to comment.
The private meeting between instructors in the department, and the Black Student Union and other black students was held as campus police prepared to submit their findings on allegations surrounding the controversy to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office.
Campus authorities have been investigating whether students were promised “A” grades if they sold tickets to a raffle that would benefit a charitable organization founded by an instructor.
Campus police said their interviews with people familiar with the case were concluded Wednesday. They said they will take the results of their investigation to the city attorney’s office Friday.
