These conflicting interests are playing out across the river, as the administration at Harvard Business School (HBS) is considering making it optional for HBS students to release their grades to employers. The current policy is that no grades are released. This policy, enacted in 1998, represents joint administrative and student agreement, as HBS’s administration could not enforce the no-release policy without the willing participation of students as well. After seven years, this policy deserves to be reversed in order to incentivize academic excellence.The...
