First of all, why did this elite university have a grade inflation problem in the first place!
I am not sure this is helpful! This is like treating the symptoms and not the cause!
"20% The A’s allowed per Harvard course, plus an additional four A’s to account for smaller courses with more variability. Faculty voted to approve the A-cap as part of a yearslong effort to curb grade inflation. The change comes despite a sharp backlash from students."
"Professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) have approved a proposal to cap the number of A’s awarded to Harvard College students, part of a broad proposal aimed at reducing grade inflation.
Starting in the fall of 2027, courses will limit A grades to 20 percent of enrollment, plus an additional four A’s per class.
Voting was conducted by email over the past week, and the results were announced on Wednesday morning. Faculty members voted 458 to 201 to approve the grading cap ..."
Harvard Faculty Approve a Cap on A Grades "Reforms to reduce grade inflation will take effect in the fall of 2027."
A cap on A grades is not exactly Veritas!
