Nicholas,
I agree policies have to be fair and available equally to all. As for EC, I just choose not to give it. Others may have differing views, and that's OK. I'm concerned with learning, less about grades and points ('e.g., the "A" student who has mastered only 75% of the course material?). So if it's needed information, I require it without an option to not do the assignment.
