2. The severity of U.S. collegiate grade inflation
The dramatic grade inflation in four-year universities and collegesis depicted in Figure 1, which shows grading patterns at 135 four-year universities and colleges in the U.S. It begins with a bell-shaped curve on the graph to show a theoretically normal grade distribution. The graph supports widespread suspicions and anecdotal evidence about the extreme extent of grade inflation. The grades received in 1960 roughly resemble an expected normal distribution while the grades received in 2008 show almost no connection to a normal array. The grades from 2008 are very significantly skewed to the right, suggesting that four-year colleges and universities exhibit a nearly ‘no fail’ grade distribution, coupled with a practice of assigning a B grade to most students who do not receive an A. The dramatic increase in grades resulted in As (43%) and Bs (35%) becoming the most frequently obtained grades (Rojstaczer & Healy, 2012; Tucker & Courts, 2010). Under a normal distribution, C would be the most common grade and an Awould occur less BUSHOR-1331; No. of Pages 9 Figure 1. Effect of grade inflation on U.S. grade distribution Source: Adapted from Rojstaczer and Healy (2012) 2 J.A. Pearce II than 6% of the time. The distribution of grades had become extremely skewed. The percentage of As received increased over 175%. This shift toward very high grades results in a compressed grade distribution and a de facto devaluation of the A grade. With more than 75% of all students obtaining As and Bs, it has become increasingly difficult for company executives and recruiters to distinguish between cum laude honor graduates, high performing students, dean’s list recipients, and their classmates who are in the middle of the pack. This evidence prompts serious questions about the meaning and comparability of GPAs. It also raises concerns about the utility for employers of using GPAs in distinguishing among candidates, and specifically about the consequences of incorporating inflated GPAs in business hiring decisions. These concerns raise difficult issues for employers about how best to interpret and use students’ college GPAs in the selection process, given that employers who include GPAs as a criterion for evaluating job applicants must be confident in their value as a metric of relative collegiate academic performance.
