make the average B- to avoid meetings with the principal
University of California graduate students get B- or better because anything below is considered fail or unsatisfactory. It's not a big deal because most grad students get A's anyway because of grade inflation etc.
A professor will not give C+ or lower because it's an administrative hassle to fail a graduate student. Every professor will avoid the nuclear option unless it is absolutely necessary, e.g. student fails on purpose.
Corruption, through-and-through the whole system from administration through to the instructors and passed on to the students. I wonder if those groups know that the businesses looking for new hires also understand the total corruption of the education system. I understand Harvard students are having a very difficult time getting hired anywhere but Daddy’s company.
