Harvard faculty votes to cap number of A's

Harvard faculty votes to cap the number of A-grades awarded to undergraduate students to combat grade inflation. The dean of Undergraduate Education believes this will strengthen academic culture, but the student association expresses disappointment.

Harvard faculty members enact a new policy capping the number of A-grades to 20% of students per course, effective Fall 2027. This move aims to reduce grade inflation and strengthen academic rigor, with hopes of influencing other institutions. The Harvard University Association expresses disappointment that student voices were not centered in the decision-making process.
