Harvard students<\/a> are in an uproar after the school’s Office of Undergraduate Education released a report last week saying the Ivy League school is “failing to perform the key functions of grading,” leading to inflated grades.<\/p>\n

The report, which was released internally to Harvard students, said that 60% of undergraduate grades are A’s, as opposed to only 25% two decades ago, according to the school’s student newspaper, The Crimson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 25-page report, penned by Dean of Undergraduate Education Amanda Claybaugh, reportedly said that the massive uptick in A grades means the school needs to implement stricter grading guidelines and said that “failing to perform the key functions of grading” was “damaging the academic culture of the College.”<\/p>\n

The report left some students dejected.<\/p>\n

“The whole entire day, I was crying,” one student reportedly<\/a> told The Crimson. “I skipped classes on Monday, and I was just sobbing in bed because I felt like I try so hard in my classes, and my grades aren\u2019t even the best.”<\/p>\n

“It just felt soul-crushing,” she said.<\/p>\n

Another student has concerns about the mental health toll potentially caused by stricter grading.<\/p>\n

“It makes me rethink my decision to come to the school,” she reportedly said. “I killed myself all throughout high school to try and get into this school. I was looking forward to being fulfilled by my studies now, rather than being killed by them.”<\/p>\n

Some are worried about a well-rounded education,<\/a> and say that stricter grading could force them to drop extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n

“What makes a Harvard student a Harvard student is their engagement in extracurriculars,” one said. “Now we have to throw that all away and pursue just academics. I believe that attacks the very notion of what Harvard is.”<\/p>\n

Another, identified as a member of the men’s lacrosse team<\/a>, concurred.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s doing students a disservice because it\u2019s not really accounting for what we have to do on a day to day basis, and how many hours we\u2019re putting into our team, our bodies, and then also school,” he reportedly said.<\/p>\n

Another student said there is a “crisis” at the school, but did not specify further.<\/p>\n

“There is a reason we\u2019re in this situation in the first place, and the fact that you\u2019re so scared of your GPA dropping .1 or .2 shows that there is a real crisis going on,” he said.<\/p>\n

A faculty committee has reportedly been assembled to “restore the integrity of our grading and return the academic culture of the College to what it was in the recent past.”<\/p>\n

Some options being explored by the committee include employing the use of the A+ grade for the highest achievers, and including the median grade for each course on students’ transcripts.<\/p>\n

Harvard did not return a request for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
