Why does this even matter? In the end as long as you pass the required courses, you'll get a degree. Who checks grades? Most don't even check that a claim of degree is true. The only loss would be that of the student not actually the learning material due to lenient grading.
Q: What do you call a doctor who graduated at the bottom of their class? A: "Doctor"
- chankstein38 3y agoI think the point is that there could be some meddling to make sure people pass. I am not purporting that's the case I just think that's why it's mentioned. I went to a school that was nowhere near Harvard level and saw it regularly, people sleeping in class or who didn't do a single assignment who still graduated with me. I think it was a money thing. Still not saying that's happening at Harvard just that it wouldn't be the most shocking thing. That said, I agree with other commenters that you set this situation up with the rigorous acceptance criteria. You're testing the people who got into one of the best schools so presumably if your selection criteria works they should all excel at the courses.
