I guess it’s better off this way. [The Dartmouth]

Students in Priya Venkatesan ‘90’s Winter term Writing 5 classes will have the option of receiving credit for the class without a grade, Associate Dean of the Faculty Lindsay Whaley informed them on April 31. Venkatesan, a former Writing 5 lecturer and research associate at Dartmouth Medical School, threatened to name students in her Writing 5 classes in a civil rights lawsuit against Dartmouth in an April 25 e-mail.

“A few weeks ago we became aware of complaints by a number of students in her Winter term classes, and Ms. Venkatesan herself made allegations against both her undergraduate students as well as her supervisors at the College and Medical School,” Whaley said in a statement e-mailed to The Dartmouth on Sunday. “Responding to concerns expressed by students, I have also reviewed the grades she gave to students in the Winter term and have concluded that they were not consistent with the feedback that she provided to the students.” Grades for the classes ranged from A to C, according to Whaley.
