Pick-A-Prof Information

In November 2008, UH General Counsel received a request from Pick-A-Prof to provide grade distributions for all formal courses at Manoa and Hilo taught during 2008. Pick-A-Prof is a fee for service online data base that markets grade information to assist students in selection of professors. The information sought included instructor name, number of students and the respective number of A’s, B’s. C’s etc. Recently UHPA was informed of this request through Hilo faculty members and the Manoa Faculty Senate. The use of this information could undermine the integrity of academic programs and instructional faculty through encouraging grade shopping and inappropriate assessments of faculty performance.
