<p>Artificial inflation of grades, in general, gives companies a false impression that a candidate is more qualified than they actually are. “You’re just helping your students reach higher places” that they might not otherwise be qualified to reach… I’m not sure that’s a good thing.</p>
<p>Ditto what Ken says with regard to the suckiness of engineering being skewed low. I don’t think that the answer is to skew engineering higher, though. (Honestly, maybe we should skew the other guys’ grades lower…)</p>
