We've had nice Crossports discussions on Patriot League Academic honors and Holy Cross graduation honors relative to grade inflation. And whether present grade cutoffs for the honors have preserved the distinguished nature of the 'honors'. This came across my news feed as apparently Yale's percentage of A's and A-'s moved to 82% of all grades received during the Covid reaction period and has remained high at about 79% today. (A couple of months ago NYT ran an accurate headline that nearly everyone at Yale get's A's). I don't know if our percentage of A/A- meets or exceeds that but I would be curious to find out.
Yale’s report indicates that, in 2020-21, the percentage of Yale College A-range grades — including A’s and A-’s — rose from 72.95 to 81.97 percent, while the mean GPA rose from 3.64 to 3.74. By the 2022-23 school year, these figures stand at 78.97 and 3.70 percent, respectively. A recent story by The Harvard Crimson indicates that 79 percent of grades awarded at Harvard College in 2020-21 fell in the A range.
