A recent New York Times article, recounting Princeton students’ aversion to the University’s grade-deflation program, suggests strongly the need for the University to include in its acceptance letters to applicants its policy in this matter, so that those whose stomachs cannot stand up to the policy can refuse their acceptance and others who do not need inflated grades to achieve their goals in life can have those positions in the coming classes.
I find the cry-baby attitudes appalling from those who would aspire to a Princeton education and not worthy of those who should be accorded the privilege.
Editor’s note: The grade-deflation policy was also a subject of the On the Campus column Feb. 3.
