Harvard University

Harvey C. Mansfield, Jr., professor of government, announced in his Government 1061, "Modern Political Thought," that he will be issuing not one but two grades. Students will receive an initial grade that Mansfield thinks they deserve and then a second grade that will be "based on Harvard's system of inflated grades." This second grade will be the grade that goes on the transcript.

Mansfield is strongly opposed to Harvards grade inflation. he says that when he compares the grades he gives with the grades students receive in other classes, his grades are at least a half-letter lower.

Mansfield has earned the nickname, "C-Minus Mansfield." because of his tough classes.

Mansfield believes that elevation grade point averages impedes education but also decreases the value of grades altogether.

"Educators seem to believe that the main purpose of education is to give students self-esteem, to make them feel good about themselves and give students the same grades they got in high school," Mansfield said.
