> Society demands assessment. Government demands assessment. Employers demand assessment.
My college didn't hand out GPAs and all evaluations were narrative. Only on rare occasions has the lack of numbers attached to my performance prevented me from obtaining what I wanted, and even for those cases I remain dubious about the benefits.

Institutions assess for many reasons, but primarily because educational opportunities are rationed and they need some method for separating the worthy from the unworthy without relying entirely on personal testimonials or politics.
