but their overall average was 69.6%, a disappointing D+.

I seem to recall anything below 75 an F, 75-80 = D, 80-90 = C, 90-95 = B and 95-100 = A. When did this change?

I was informed by a friend's son who goes to Cornell that getting a high grade in most liberal arts courses is a breeze. I suspect grade inflation is rampant in many of these schools.

That was my scale of grades in high school. When I went to college in 1972, it changed to 90-100=A, 80-89=B, 70-79=C, and I’m a bit fuzzy on the rest. Either 65-69=D or 60-69=D. I don’t remember the F. Today, I believe it dips into the 50’s.
