Mandatory cap on top grades at one of America’s most prestigious colleges will go into effect in fall of 2027

Harvard faculty has voted to impose a roughly 20% cap on A grades in an effort to curb decades of grade inflation that, the faculty argues, degrades the value of top-tier academic achievement at the college.

The mandatory cap on top grades at one of America’s most prestigious colleges will go into effect in the fall of 2027. Under an agreed “20 plus four” formula, the number of A grades awarded to a class of 100 undergraduates will be limited to 24 students.
