Student Sues Lockdown Browser for Lowering Their GPA

After repeated rejections from summer internships, students have started to claim that the root of their failures lies in Texas A&M University stifling their greatness and lowering their GPA. The blatant disregard by professors for their academic success has prompted these students to file a lawsuit against Respondus Lockdown Browser on the basis that the program inhibited the use of students’ full knowledge and potential.

When questioned on the impact Respondus has had on her life, junior public health major Delaney Ooherdon said, “Spring 2020 was the highlight of my academic career. My GPA was the highest I’ve ever earned, but it was all downhill from there. The only thing that changed was that professors started requiring Respondus in all my classes.”

Recently released reports show drastic improvement in average GPA at Texas A&M. The average GPA rose from a 2.46 in fall 2019 to a 3.41 by the end of spring 2020. However, these reports also show numbers plunging to record lows when Respondus gained popularity with professors.

The hearing date for Texas A&M Students v. Respondus Lockdown Browser is set for April 20th.
