academic welfare

The dumbing-down of standards at branch/regional campuses so that their lower-class students can pass and ultimately graduate.

Man, this test was hard! Where's my "academic welfare"?

The "academic welfare" situation at Miami Hamilton is necessary for their mouth-breathers.

Without that "academic welfare" at MUH, his lazy butt would have failed out long ago!

Woodward Academy

A very prestigious and rich-ass old money private school in Atlanta, GA, founded in 1900 and costing $25K+ a year located in the middle of ghetto-ass College Park, GA where many rappers and gangs still trap (2 Chainz, Young Joc, Ludacris, Outkast, Cee-Lo, etc.). Many of the white kids that attend Woodward feel a false perception that they are in fact "ghetto" and "hood rich" because they often ride the MARTA subway train to school everyday.

That white girl Chloe from Woodward Academy started crying on MARTA again because she only got a 1470 on her SAT. Her parents gonna beat dat ass.

academic bulemia

The process of learning or memorizing by rote, subsequently followed by the regurgitation of that knowledge onto an exam answer sheet. Just as with the serious eating disorder, this form of bulemia results in no real retention of substance.

This term is frequently applied to describe a common practice of young medical students.

I can't remember anything that I learned last night. It's like I grabbed the answer sheet, puked out all the answers and forgot everything immediately. I'd say that's academic bulemia.
