Daily Vanguard - B is the new C

Daily Vanguard - B is the new C:

"More American college students than ever are receiving A’s and B’s which are traditionally thought of as above-average grades, but this does not mean that we are all above average intelligence. According to the Inside Higher Ed Web site, the mean GPA at American colleges in the 1950s was 2.52, and by 2006–07 it was 3.11. This data shows that grading in colleges is easier than it was in the past, and B is in fact the new C."
