I think this is completely fair. My major is Aerospace Engineering, which as a side note the OML classifies as "Space Travel", and the fact that other people in my battalion are weighted higher due to their communications major I think is complete nonsense. I hope the program changes and for the better.
...and unlike JCleppe (who is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this board), I almost completely disagree. I wouldn't mind them throwing out GPA altogether. You either graduated or you didn't, how's that?
As I've said before, and there are exceptions, but I've been in law enforcement for nearly (3) decades and I can say without hesitation that leaders are born and not made. You either got it or you don't and having a 4.0 GPA in any course of study doesn't make you a better leader. Our current leader of the free world graduated from Harvard and Columbia and he has proven an Ivy school education is nearly worthless when it comes to developing leadership skills.
