Grading curve modification proposed at USC

The University of Southern California Gould School of Law is the latest to consider grade reforms, but don't expect a sea change in Los Angeles.

USC Law Dean Robert Rasmussen has proposed modifying the school's grading curve — a more modest change than switching from letter grades to a pass/fail system, as several top law schools have done in recent months.

School officials explained in a letter to students on Monday that the change is intended to bring USC's law school more in line with grades at other law schools.
