Imagine a university that took a different approach. Imagine a university that announced that they had no quota or criteria for anything except excellence. You have to be above average to get in, and you have to be above average to graduate. No excuses. No one needs to “feel good” about anything. It’s all about hard work and dedication and anyone (student or faculty) who is disruptive about “higher causes” is escorted off campus within 24 hours.

Employers would eagerly hire graduates from such a school. And the best students in the country would want to attend.

Harvard is a huge joke.. a glorified academic daycare where every student gets a trophy or, in this case, an A. The average GPA at Harvard is now 3.8 ... out of 4.0..

I was going to say universities with lowered expectations won’t be graduating any engineers, scientists or math majors, but AI may make that inconsequential.
