Contest won’t grade down for incorrect grammar
A public Connecticut university running a contest awarding $15,000 in prize money to students who provide written or video essays describing their personal relationship to Black Lives Matter is lowering its grammatical standards for the contest, according to the school’s website.
Earlier this year, the Central Connecticut State University Center for Public Policy and Social Research announced its “Reflect & Empower: What Black Lives Matter Means to Me” writing and multimedia contest.
On the website soliciting entries, the school notes the essays must be original, but also that “submissions will not be judged on traditional literary or grammatical standards.”
Interim Associate Vice President of Communications and Logistics Janice Palmer in an email to The College Fix that the “priority of this project is the stories conveyed.”
“The planning committee is hopeful that students from a wide range of academic majors will be inspired to take part,” Palmer said.

Traditional literary or grammatical standards will not be required by the “academic majors”. What a laugh and admission that those who submit the essays are not capable of handling the accepted standards.
