Harvard Caps A Grades to Tackle Grade Inflation
Harvards faculty votes to cap A grades, aiming to combat grade inflation, with only 20% of students receiving an A in undergraduate classes starting fall 2027. This move, seen as a step towards strengthening academic culture, follows a significant increase in A grades from 33% in 2012-2013 to 66% in 2024-2025. The change faces opposition from students and raises questions about the value of a Harvard degree, with some graduate schools deeming Harvard grades almost useless. The issue extends beyond Harvard, with other Ivy League schools considering reforms, and critics arguing that grade inflation pressures schools to give higher marks and discourages real evaluation.
