MBA-Moral Mazes “System is fair in the long run” is one of the most frequently used phrases by the LUMS faculty and it takes special position whenever students complain about their grades. If this statement is read against the grain‚ one can infer that the current system has flaws and it is fine not to get dishearten due to a lower grade because somewhere along the way looms a higher grade.
