Harvard faculty just voted to limit A grades to 20 percent of underclassmen marks. 

• Victor Davis Hanson, on Daily Signal, said out loud what every honest academic has been saying privately for years. 

The data:

• Yale was running 80 percent. 
• Stanford the same. 
• Twenty years ago the A-share at the same schools was about 30 percent. 

Hanson’s anatomy of the collapse, on camera:

The result is the bold(‘T-ball mentality’) inside the most selective universities in the world. 

• Everybody is a winner. 

Nobody is hurt.
