Princeton University significantly reduced the number of A’s it gave out last year, according to a report released yesterday by the university, but it still wants to do more.
Roughly 41 percent of the grades given in undergraduate courses last year were A-pluses, A’s or A-minuses, down from 46 percent the previous year and 48 percent the year before that. In April 2004, the Princeton faculty set a goal of 35 percent. The school year that ended in May was the first year under the policy.
