Audit: Md. university tweaked grades

The University of Baltimore allowed its employees to change students’ grades without oversight or approval from a school dean, according to a state audit.

In a review of 30 randomly selected cases in which students’ grades were changed, state auditors found that eight of the changes were not documented as having been approved by a dean’s office, where required. Grade changes recorded by someone other than a class teacher must be approved by a dean, according to school policy.
