Grade inflation at American universities is out of control. The statistics speak for themselves. In 1950, the average GPA at Harvard was estimated at 2.6 out of 4. By 2003, it had risen to 3.4. Today, it stands at 3.8.

A few professors have reacted to this dilemma with a sort of private rebellion. Harvey Mansfield, a conservative political theorist who recently retired after teaching at Harvard for half a century, used to tell his students on the first day of class that they would receive two grades: their “real” grade and their “ironic” grade. The real grade had not been affected by grade inflation; even smart and hardworking students had to expect to receive an occasional B. The ironic grade, which would eventually make its way to the registrar, was in line with the university’s inflated standards.
