To the Editor:
A recent Herald article brought attention to the high proportion of As awarded at Brown — 53.4 percent, to be exact.
Unfortunately, the response so far has been that grade inflation is no big deal.
Grade inflation undermines an incentive to learn more. It denies excellent students a chance to distinguish themselves. It promotes a sense of entitlement. The administration ought to make curbing grade inflation a priority.
