Does this mean the end of grade inflation at Harvard?

A Harvard faculty committee recommended that Harvard issue a 20% + 4 cap on A grades across Harvard college.

This means that 20% of grades can be an A with flexibility to add 4 more As. A class of 100 students could have up to 24 A students.

But why is it so low? Faculty want to distinguish work of "extraordinary distinction." Perhaps it's an overcorrection, perhaps not.

Many Harvard students are (unsurprisingly) not happy about this. As one student puts it, "You accept a bunch of top 3 percent students in the country and then get surprised that we’re getting all As."

Another student was worried about how it would hurt the collaborative nature of the college.

What do you think? Was this the right thing to do? Did they go too far? Or not far enough?
