Harvard University is moving to make it harder for undergraduates to receive grades in the A range. According to reports based on an Associated Press story and echoed by other outlets, Harvard faculty vote on changes to the grading approach that would limit the share of top grades students can earn. One report notes that in recent years, more than 60% of grades awarded to undergraduates have been in the A range, indicating that A grades are currently common. The proposed adjustment is intended to reduce how frequently students receive A’s, shifting the distribution away from the highest letter grades. The outlets describe the decision as coming from Harvard faculty action and characterize it as a tightening of grading standards rather than an expansion of course requirements or new academic policies. The reporting focuses on the vote and the expected impact on how often undergraduates receive A-level grades, but does not provide detailed information on the specific calculation method or implementation timeline within the excerpts provided.
