How are the students not hurt if the reputation of their university is damaged? Especially if you are a good student. Graduate admissions are aware of this kind of stuff, and it will screw over real A students royally.
- AlchemistCamp 7y agoHarvard awards nearly all A's and their reputation hasn't suffered for it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2013/12/04/harvard-colleges-median-grade-is-an-a-dean-admits/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2013/12/... I suspect it would take a lot more than one "A strike" to substantially impact a school's reputation.
- davrosthedalek 7y agoI can tell you with 100% confidence that grade inflation is taken into account in grad admission. Been there, done that. Same as arbitrary scale changes (Let's give A+...). But it will be a long time until this impacts Harvard. OTOH, it seems Princeton steered back.
