At University of Toronto, the grading scale was pretty stable until about 2010 or so, when the recommended range of grade distributions somehow ceased to be so recommended... there used to be fraction ranges in each grade, and if you were outside them for a bigger class, you had to write a letter of explanation. I retired in 2014, just before the s*** hit the fan (i.e. Jordan Peterson confronted the trans/self-ID activists at U of T and in the Canadian government in 2016).
I am not saying '68 was insignificant, but to my way of thinking the creation of the Federal Department of Education in 1979 was pivotal. And where change needs to occur now. Thanks for the book rec.

I think 1979 was the critical year.
