In recent years 46 percent of grades at Princeton University have been A's.
The Associated Press reports that Princeton University's faculty approved a plan Monday to limit the number of A's awarded to undergraduates to 35 percent. For junior and senior independent work, the percentage receiving A's will be capped at 55 percent.
According to the Associated Press few students supported the change.
I'm shocked!

As a resident of Princeton, NJ, and long time dog owner, I'll be protesting this change by letting my dog crap on the university's lawn, and not cleaning it up.
Letting your dog crap on someone else's property without cleaning it up is American. 'Rationing' grades for students who might or might not deserve them is an un-American as...well...as government run healthcare.
