Actually Steven Pinker has taught the same Cognitive Psychology class at Harvard for over 20 years and he has noticed a decline in aptitude... the median test score is 10 points lower than 20 years ago
Pinker says part of it is that students are reading less especially books. A second factor is the lack of hand note taking. Writinig by hand increases memory and retention vs typing on a laptop
Did he actually give out lower grades though?

No
Grading is based on a curve and other political factors
Edit: I bet if you email him he will respond
He explained this to Bill Maher on Real Time, I will try to find the clip
