[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not the fault of the faculty who are frustrated, or the students who can't cope with rigor. If they were admitted, it's been taken for granted that they have what it takes to succeed with rigorous classes. If a large number of admitted students are trying but can't cope, it is a problem with the admissions process, and admissions officers need to learn to do better to admit students who are academically prepared for a rigorous college education.

If they only made the SAT test reasonably difficult and also required, all of these dumb kids who can't earn an A in social sciences would have been weeded out from the start already. Coincidence that now that there's pressure to do away with AA and DEI, suddenly standards are raised? Seriously, in the information age, how could anyone with a functioning brain do poorly at any of these regurgitative majors? And if you're here to dispute what was just written, count yourself among that group.[/quote]
Harvard has been trying to combat grade inflation for over a decade. The only coincidence is you actually paying attention.[/quote]
