Harvard faculty vote to cap 'A' grades at 20% in sweeping effort to combat decades of grade inflation

Harvard faculty voted in favor of capping A grades at 20% on Wednesday in an effort to combat grade inflation.

"Today the Harvard faculty voted to make their grades mean what they say they mean," a statement from members of the Harvard faculty subcommittee told Fox News Digital.

"For decades, grade inflation has been a collective-action problem: everyone saw it, but no one faculty member could fix it alone," it continued. "The faculty have now taken a major step to fix it together. We are gratified that the FAS faculty has approved the core elements of our committee's recommendations for simple, effective measures to address the problem of grade inflation—an essential step in the broader effort to recenter academics at Harvard College."
