Apparently Harvard is introducing a 20% cap (plus change) on As.

No cap on A minuses though.

Looked at my collage that I went to 40 years ago. Back then they graded on a curve.

Looking student grades for 2025.

A's 30% B's 45%

2 out of 254 got an A+

I look at grade inflation still being a problem at elite schools and shake my head.
