Article Abstract:
A reader in moral philosophy at the University of Brighton argues that any lecturer who is asked to pass a failing student in order to ensure that neither the university's income or league table position suffers should refuse to do so. He contends that to pass failing students only serves to undermine educational students and that lecturers who feel pressured by management to pass students should contemplate going public with the matter.
