Harvard’s "A" Problem: Grade Inflation In American Education

from The Peoples Voice Podcast · host Trey Evans

Grade inflation has become a significant issue at Harvard and other elite American universities, where the average GPA has steadily risen over the past few decades, making top grades increasingly common. This trend also is occuring throughout American higher education, where professors and institutions deal with pressures to maintain student satisfaction, secure funding, and enhance post-graduate outcomes. As a result, grades may no longer accurately reflect academic performance or rigor, blurring distinctions between exceptional and average work.  #gradeinflation #americaneducation #harvardCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research
