Just read a New York Times story about Loyola Law School Los Angeles retroactively increasing grades by 0.333 to make their students more competitive in the job market. About 10 law schools have recently made their marking schedules more lenient as part of a suite of measures to improve the employability of students. I support some of the changes, like moving up job interviews and improving career counselling, but being so mercenary about rewriting history to their own advantage is a terrible example – well, except maybe for budding lawyers!
