CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (AP) -- Harvard University, addressing concerns about grade inflation, is considering restoring a B as the average grade, and clarifying the meaning of each A on transcripts.
The Harvard student-faculty committee, which met this week, also is considering changes in the way honors are earned, including the elimination of the honors track for freshmen and sophomores, and the all-honors majors in some departments.
One of the proposals being considered at Harvard would encourage professors to give more B grades by narrowing the grade-point gap between an A-minus and a B-plus.
