In a significant move to address long-standing grade inflation, Harvard College faculty voted to limit the number of A grades awarded to undergraduates to 20%. This sweeping reform comes in response to criticisms regarding the prevalence of A grades, with reports indicating that up to 60% of grades at the institution have been A’s. The decision has sparked a mix of opinions among faculty and students, as many believe the change is necessary for maintaining academic standards. Critics, however, worry about the impact this could have on student morale and academic freedom. Faculty members overwhelmingly supported the measure, aiming to enhance the integrity of the grading system and ensure that high grades reflect true academic achievement.
