He stated that the school pressured him to raise grades, compromising academic standards.

Spelman College emphasized its commitment to academic rigor but declined further comment.
The college is a prestigious historically Black liberal arts college with notable alumnae and high rankings in various categories.
“They definitely applied some pressure on me to raise grades above what I thought was reasonable, which I thought was totally against what I was supposed to do,” Morales said.
“I thought I was responsible for setting academic standards and making sure that the grades and degrees the school was conferring actually held its value.”
“I thought, in terms of going for an academic position, that I would be able to have autonomy and not have administrators kind of meddle with grades and meddle with the incentive structure that I was trying to put in place,” he added.
“I’m not really sure if it’s viable for me to continue as an academic.”
“At the heart of the Spelman College experience is the academically rigorous program we offer our students. Meaningful and effective classroom engagement is the hallmark of a Spelman education. The College, its administrators, and faculty exercise appropriate judgment in the delivery of our learning activities in order to maintain consistency across Spelman’s campus,” Spelman College stated.
“Spelman College has reviewed this matter and has no further comment on the opinions of this former faculty member,” they added.
