Harvard grade inflation
https://thefederalist.com/2025/11/10/out...education/

Good article on the snowflakes at Harvard who complain about difficult readings and hard grading, when in fact, the number of As has gone from 25% to 60% in just 20 years.

Hardest thing about ivy league schools is simply being admitted. Once in, they are similar to other schools. No way an ivy will deteriorate it's ratings by failing people out, etc.

I wouldn't lump them all together. From what I've heard, Princeton and to a lesser extent Cornell still offer rigorous education.
