<p>for what its worth, when the dean of HMS came to speak at Princeton last year, he assured the worried crowd that Harvard was very much aware of the grade deflation at Princeton and made reasonable accommodations for it. Also, it is difficult to argue that humanities at Princeton is easier than the average bio class (I have found otherwise). The grade deflation policy remains in effect for both courses, and while it is harder to fail a humanities class, it is equally harder to score high 90’s. Also, for what its worth, MIT does have some semblance of humanities and social sciences (chomsky anyone?)</p>
