1. Here is what I responded to: ...a grade of 90 gets you an "A" in most universities. Get
all 90's and you graduate Summa Cum Laude.
2. A 90 does not get an A in many Universities. At the two my sons attended, an A- took 93%.
3. I don't believe there is a universally accepted breakdown of cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude. I know of instances where different individuals, both earning 4.0's, received different levels of honor, or "praise" recognition; one received magna and the other received summa.
4. I meant only an academic observation and really didn't intent to start an argument. I agree with your basic premise...it was good officiating.
