Fair (to Poor) Harvard

"... and *another* thing, Vonnegut! I'm gonna stop payment on the check!...Flunk me? Hey, Kurt, can you read lips, *flunk you*! Next time I'll call Robert Ludlum!"

From the Economist:
Students with D grades often have a tough time finding employment after graduation—that is, unless they’re D-students at some of America’s top business schools, where grade non-disclosure has become the norm. That had been the case at Harvard Business School until December 14th, when Jay Light, the acting dean, informed the school that, beginning with the class of 2008, HBS will no longer prohibit students from disclosing their grades to potential employers.
