Harvard students are protesting against the university's proposed plan to reduce grade inflation by launching a Change.org petition calling it "racially harmful". The petition comes after a report by the Office of Undergraduate Education stated that the school is failing to perform the key functions of grading, leading to inflated grades. The proposed reforms include delaying implementation by a year, adjusting how the cap on A grades is estimated, and adding a new grade within the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (SAT/UNSAT) grading system. The students argue that the policy is racist and has a history of heavily burdening students of color and first-generation, low-income (FGLI) students.
