In an article titled "Grade inflation traced to Vietnam War" in Boulder, Colorado's Daily Camera, Maurice Isserman, James L. Ferguson Professor of History, was quoted on what he views as a possible "tenuous connection" between grade inflation to the Vietnam War.
"There were some professors that said 'I'm not going to fail any of my male students, because I'm not going to hand them over to selective services,'" said Isserman. The author of America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s continued. "To leap from that to the notion that it was the cause of grade inflation seems to be hyperbole."
