Paul,
Many institutions are beginning to lean this way, I think in part due to pressure from payers of education in career schools (i.e., the Feds) to produce real results in the form of prepared workers that get real jobs. In the real world, there is no EC, and employees are held accountable for their work duties. So boosting grades to look good may have worked in ythe past, but less and and less anymore.
