I think it is absolutely nuts to have different GPA requirements for different majors. If a major is "too hard", then maybe it isn't for them. For some people, science is very difficult. For others, English is very difficult. Some people can write computer software without too much struggle, but ask them to write a 3-page essay and they freak out.
This is one area where things should be black and white. One cut-off, no exceptions.
If there is really an issue, let someone make a motion and bring it to a vote. Otherwise, it's your job to be the enforcer. Not fun, but important.
Good luck!

I go to a school that is definetly known as a science school and the programs are hard. But I don't think that its fair to differentiate, saying one girl's major is harder than another, because it's like saying, "im smarter than you, and I work harder than you"
Any ideas? Does anybody else differentiate gpa requirements based on major? Please help!
