Journalism hit 95% of A’s in 2022,
In this week’s article, ‘Easy A’s for Ivy League Idiots’, I discussed the insane level of grade inflation at prestigious colleges.
In 2005, a quarter of Harvard students received A’s. In 2025, it’s over 60%. At Yale, A’s went from 67% of grades in 2010 to 78% of grades in 2023.
But not all grades are created equal.
- At the University of California Berkeley, 77% of grades in 2020 were A’s. While that number fell down to 64% in 2022, the more woke and worthless the subject, the worse its grades were inflated.
- Journalism hit 95% of A’s in 2022, and if you were under the mistaken impression that ‘environmental design’ was a serious field, both it and Black Studies offered 78% A’s. However Math offered only 42% A’s and Physics only managed 41% A’s. Those poor dumb idiots trying to understand the nature of the universe just can’t compete with those studying the “critical frameworks that articulate, explore, describe and/or impinge upon blackness.”
- As a result UC Berkeley students majoring in Applied Mathematics, Chemical Engineering and Physics had GPA’s in the 3.4 range while the highest GPAs went to students majoring in art, conservation and society.
You can see the numbers for yourself.
Grade inflation is in no small part due to garbage courses and woke majors.
