<p>Harvard University, for instance, came under sharp criticism for graduating 91 percent of the Class of 2001 with honors, and subsequently announced this semester that it is raising the minimum grade point average (GPA) needed for an honors degree. At Cornell, which graduated only eight percent of the Class of 2001 with honors, the number of A’s awarded to students has more than doubled since 1965.</p>
<p>I got this from the Sun. Inspite of the fact that A’s more than doubled we still had only 8% of students graduating with honors.</p>
