Fiscal Policy Effects on Grade Inflation Fiscal Policy Effects on Grade Inflation Grade inflation occurs when a student receives a grade for course work unwarranted by the level of work or achievement demonstrated (Stone, 1995). There is evidence that grade inflation is in fact present in both private and publicly funded colleges and universities. The exact causes of grade inflation and agreement on whether the issue is important enough to warrant serious concern are topics of much disagreement. The purpose of my paper is to suggest that grade inflation does exist and that another of its causes is fiscal and budgetary policy, specifically, the use by many states of enrollment based funding formulas as a means of allocating funds for higher education. My paper begins with a discussion of the grade inflation phenomenon and some of its more popular causes followed by a review of college economics and the funding formula. A look at the current student, the concept of higher education as a business, and defense of my thesis follows.
