[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a little concerned by some of the posts about grade deflation because graduate/professional school will be on the horizon. Also concerning is the announcement regarding voluntary furloughs for employees and leadership taking salary cuts. However, I know that COVID-19's financial impact is being felt everywhere including the Ivies and there is widespread uncertainty in higher ed. [/quote] There is no grade deflation anywhere in higher education. Only varying degrees of grade inflation. Look at Gradinflation.com. Most recent average GPAs at some top publics: Michigan - 3.37 [b]W&M - 3.33[/b] UVA - 3.32 Berkeley - 3.29 Washington - 3.28 UCLA - 3.27 UNC - 3.23 Texas - 3.22 VT - 3.15 The salary cuts from leaders are being done many places (UVA did the same). They are trying to set an example in case layoffs are needed (if room and board revenue is lost if students have to be sent home again). [/quote]
