Harvard's Grade Inflation Problem, AI in Education & The Future of College
Wednesday, June 10, 2026
Is higher education facing a credibility crisis? In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riano, President of Cornerstone University, to discuss Harvard's controversial decision to cap A grades, the growing problem of grade inflation, declining public trust in colleges, and how artificial intelligence is transforming education.
Dr. Moreno-Riano explains why grade inflation may be undermining the value of college degrees, how an entitlement culture has impacted academic rigor, and why universities must focus on preparing students for careers and life—not just handing out diplomas. The conversation also explores AI's role in education, workforce readiness, soaring tuition costs, and how innovative institutions like Cornerstone are adapting to the future.
