Grade inflation merits changes
Jan. 6, 2004In the academic economy of the university, grades used to be the gold standard. For their studies in libraries, classrooms and laboratories, students were repaid with teachers' evaluations, which they could present to anyone as proof they'd done a good job.

But even though the draft is no more and college students' workloads are relatively unchanged, inflation continues. Things are no different in Athens.
