Did anyone else receive this? What exactly does this mean?it read

I am feeling frustrated towards the Lakehead U grading scale for the B.Ed. program.
What's the point of trying to complete Level 4 work if I'm going to be graded between 70-75%? Additionally, not knowing if this is common practice or just Lakehead is frustrating. If it's across the board, then maybe I would feel less frustrated, but since I don't know, it's even more frustrating.
Just wanted to vent lol.
Faculty at Lakehead is in bargaining and has been working under an expired contract for a while now. The student body has grown but the employer keeps increasing class sizes and decreasing stability for faculty members. A strike could be called as early as October 17th.
The following poster is being circulated by LUFA. If you're an alumni, a member of another union at the university, a student, or just a member of the community, you should sign to show your support and help avoid a strike.

When you click "start writing" you will be directed to LUFA's prepared statement. You can sign as-is or make whatever edits you want.
Hey anyone else saw this? On the 17 October? Haha
For those who were accepted into the program, I’d love to hear what you think made your application stand out!
If you’re comfortable sharing:
• What was your GPA?
• What did you feel was the strongest part of your application?
• Who did you use as your references (manager, NP, physician, professor, etc.)?
• What CV format/template did you use?
• Were you an alumni of the university?
• How many years of nursing experience did you have, and what areas did you work in?
• Did you have any leadership, teaching, volunteer, or community involvement that you think helped?
• Anything you wish you had known before applying?
A little about me: I graduated with a 3.2 GPA and have been nursing in Northwestern Ontario for several years. My RN experience includes long-term care, medical-surgical, maternal/newborn, and labour & delivery. I’ve also started training in critical care and am hoping to begin 1:1 ICU training later this winter or early spring.
Prior to becoming an RN, I worked as an RPN for 10 years, with experience in addictions/drug and alcohol treatment, corrections (Solicitor General), medical-surgical, and long-term care.
I’m also currently teaching Anatomy & Physiology to Practical Nursing students and Health Assessment to first-year BScN students, as well as facilitating university courses in the region.
I know everyone’s application is different, but I’d really appreciate hearing from successful applicants about what they believe strengthened their application—especially those who were accepted with a GPA around the 3.0–3.3 range.
Congratulations to everyone who was accepted, and good luck to all the 2027 applicants! ❤️🩺📚
