Very cool (provided we aren't doing the UNC fake class thing)
How can the cumulative GPA average be greater than the highest term GPA?
As long as it's not a UNC GPA, I say congratulations. [emoji41]<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Also Spring 2018 tied for highest term GPA (with Spring 2017)!

They are specifically talking about the "Spring" terms of 2018 vs 2017. The cumulative GPA would seem to include the Fall & Summer terms & they may have caused the cumulative GPA to be higher.
It’s like Year Zero. It’s a new math thing.
Its all rubber stamp in this day and age.
An A now is like a C twenty years ago.
It’s not very complicated. Spring 2018 tied Spring 2017 for highest term GPA ever. However the Fall 17 GPA was higher than Fall ‘16, so this the cumulative GPA (for the year) was the highest ever.

was it hand-timed or electric?
Didn't Mason have one of his guys get shot in downtown Minneapolis (when he should have been on campus studying?)
He was in his dorm sleep. He came down to keep the peace.

There's a chance I might be reading this incorrectly (and I really hope I am), but if you're trying to make a joke out of that senseless tragedy, then your post is the single most offensive, inappropriate post I've ever read on Gopherhole. The emoji doesn't excuse it or make it "better."
Yes, you are right, I shouldn't have made light of that tragic situation. If remember correctly, it was a bunch of football players downtown around bar closing that got in to trouble. I think some of them were underage too. (that was more my point - players in places they shouldn't have been)
Thank goodness the culture has changed and PJ's finally has all of HIS players on the roster!
You blew it on this one. Brandon was trying to get his teammates to leave (by ALL accounts) the players that were down there ran. He tried to reason with the shooter and died. By ALL accounts a good young man that died senselessly. Ben Utecht's dad officiated the public memorial Service. Very powerful service. Not sure there was a dry eye in the place.
I get angry thinking about it. A young guy, that came here with hopes to learn counselling and possibly Law Enforcement with hopes of making a difference in the world, gets gunned down.

I'm not sure why somebody getting shot, without any qualifying context like a drug deal gang activity, robbery, etc, would automatically be some indictment on their character. Do all of the people gunned down in Vegas have questionable character and discipline, because they probably should board themselves up and hypobericly isolate themselves from society?
Also, when did this thing start where it should illegal for people to go out and enjoy themselves and enjoy the rewards of their life's work to that point? This is the United States of America. Most of the people that get bent out of shape about a kid going to a party instead of "staying home studying," probably spent Thurs-Sun more drunk than a sailor in port. I know plenty of high-character individuals, who I would trust with my children's lives in their hands, from the military, my work in government, fire department etc, that like to get drunk and smoke a little pot on the weekends....when they're not sacrificing their lives to save the lives and protect the liberties of the cranky old Quakers that like to lecture others on character, but wouldn't cross the street to pee on someone if they were on fire.
Doing well in the classroom. Far cry from the past.
Depends on what you consider to be "the past." From all accounts, academics were very lax under Brewster, but Kill turned that around.
Two of Fleck's WMU recruits were arrested for breaking into an apartment and stealing marijuana at gun point from the inhabitants.
Two others were arrested for shoplifting.
Half of the recruits he signed 2013-16 were not on team last fall.
They probably didn't count towards team GPA.
