Western Oregon University Adopts New Grading System

Interesting points from the article:

• Over 65 percent of freshmen who had dropped out in the past five years had earned an F in their first quarter.
  
  
• About 40.4 million people, or 12 percent of Americans, have some college credit but didn’t earn a degree or certificate.
  
  
• Around 80% of Yale's grades were either A's or A-'s
  

I'm in favor of grade inflation since everyone else is doing it. 

Why not take advantage of it, especially if you can be discriminated against for having a low GPA?
