Harvard faculty delays vote on controversial A-grade cap proposal: Decision pushed to May amid heated debate
Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences has delayed a vote on capping A grades due to extensive faculty discussion. The proposal, aimed at curbing grade inflation, now faces a split vote on its components: an A-grade cap, percentile rankings for awards, and a new grading scale for opt-out courses. Student opposition remains strong, while faculty debate its impact.
