Retroactive Grade Inflation
Apparently in response to the poor job market for law school grads, one school is trying to give its students a boost: retroactive grade inflation.
Loyola Law School of Los Angeles is increasing all grades by a third, so that “what previously was a B- would be a B, what previously was a B would be a B+, and so forth,” according to a dean’s memo published by Above the Law. It also applies to grades already earned, so that the grade-point average of every student will automatically increase by .333.
