Harvard to cap number of A-grades, despite heavy opposition from students
Harvard University faculty have voted to implement a policy capping the number of A-grades awarded in undergraduate courses, despite significant student opposition. Beginning in the fall of 2027, no more than 20% of a class, plus four additional students, will be eligible to receive an A. This decision aims to address grade inflation, with approximately 60% of undergraduate grades being an A in the most recent academic year. AI
