And if department employees were getting incentivized (incented?) to assure
academic success, wouldn't that just lead to grade inflation anyway?

English department: Johnny got an A in Composition this semester.
Chem department: Well, he didn't blow anything up, so I'Johnny got an A+ in
Chem 109!
Math department: That's nothing!  He got an A-to-the-twentieth power in Calc
106!!!

Where would it end?

(That was rhetorical, Steve.  I know the answer is "the CS department".  8^)
