The topic of Honor Cords and Honor Designations continues to be a hot topic among the many students and graduates that spent many hours studying to ensure they received the highest grades they could muster. I am not sure why the UoPx has continued to ignore the voices of those that keep them in business. A very simple solution, in my mind, would be to adopt a cording system such as:
3.85 and above - Summa Cum Laude = Tri-Color braided Cord (Black/Red/White)
3.75 to 3.84 - Magna Cum Laude = Bi-Color Cord braided (Red/White)
3.50 to 3.74 - Cum Laude = Single Color Cord (White)
Acknowledging these small identifiers of the hard work the students put in could not cost the University much. all three types, described above, can be found here https://www.honorsgraduation.com/graduation-honor-cord-colo…
I hope a speedy resolution to this issue can be realized.
