Yale junior says grade inflation ‘a good thing’

Grade inflation has been an issue for some time at American universities. One of The College Fix’s earliest articles reported that 43 percent of all college grades were As, while Ds and Fs were “few and far between.”

In 2023, reports detailed how As were almost 80 percent of the grades given at Yale and Harvard.

And it’s not just higher ed; one study showed that in 1966 just 19 percent of college students had an A or A-minus GPA in high school, while 40 years later that figure jumped to almost 50 percent.
