Abstract

This report is the first of a two-part series that explores the topic of grade inflation from both a faculty and student perspective. The ethical and professional issues related to faculty disregard for knowledge attainment and assignment of an unearned grade is a hot topic of debate. There is currently a heightened awareness of grade inflation within higher education. In the context of ethics and professionalism, grade inflation needs to be considered as it relates to faculty teaching styles, relevance within athletic training education programs, and strategies that address the problem. What responsibility does an educator have for control of grade inflation?
