I am currently in a graduate program at UNC-CH. One of my fellow students, who is an ROTC instructor at Duke, told me in great detail how Duke inflates grades. He got into hot water with the administration when he started giving grades below a B. The instructor was told in explicit terms that giving out low grades was not desirable even if the students can't cut it.
Basically, the parents of these kids are paying
for junior's GPA.
