It's funny to compare attitudes towards curve grading and stack ranking. If only 16% of a class is good enough for an A, shouldn't only 16% of employees be good enough for a raise?
Maybe the professors could take the bottom 6% of students and come up with a plan to improve their performance. If performance doesn't improve, the students would have to leave the university.
This would help prepare students for their careers.

I think they do that already - it's called academic probation and failing out.
