Want tenure? Inflate those grades.

    This fall I gave my students grades for the first time. Of course, my students have received grades from me before, but I was always of the philosophy that those grades should be the ones they had earned.

    This semester, that changed. I began giving A's like gifts. Why? I need to get tenure.

Interesting tale here.
