They paid for a service and did not receive it. Many have even been kicked out of housing. Sounds like one party broke the contract regarding tuition.

Pass or not it really makes no difference. College degrees are losing prestigiousness so who cares.

In five years post graduation it really means little. You don't go to college to learn you go there for the degree to get into that first door.

We truly live in such amazing times, where the principle of the transaction is more important than the achieved competency. This isn't Walmart, it's an education system. If they're not getting educated, the degree is completely meaningless.

Exceptions set dangerous precedents.
