Abstract: The inflation of grades weakens the integrity of academics in colleges and universities. In addition to weakened academic integrity, it involves re-ranking and impacts earnings. The practice of grade inflation also provides a mismatch in the labor market resulting in students who are highly skilled being harmed. Academic administrators, college leadership, and faculty can partner to develop policy, training, and best practices that diminish or completely abate the inflation of grades. The purpose of this case study is to examine the issue of grade inflation in higher education using a three-part evaluation that will include a review of the case and case analysis followed by a recommended case solution.
