Sixty-two percent of grades awarded by Yale College last spring were in the A range, according to a preliminary report released last week by the Yale College ad hoc committee on grading policy. The report also noted that there was a large discrepancy in grading among different departments.
The committee made a number of recommendations as a result of the findings, including the move from letter grades to a 100-point grading scale as a means of preventing possible grade inflation. While the committee did not propose hard cutoffs, it suggested quotas of 35 percent of grades in the 90-to-100 range and 40 percent in the 80-to-89 range, with the mean grade at 85.5 percent. The changes would be similar to the University’s grade deflation policy, which has kept the number of A grades given below 40 percent.
The committee will submit a concrete proposal for faculty voting in April after consultation with students and faculty.
