New research by the University of Michigan shows alarming findings about how a student's last name can affect their grades.

A new study by the University of Michigan made an alarming discovery that a student’s last name can affect their grades.

Researchers at the University of Michigan analyzed 30 million of the school’s own grading records when it noticed the pattern. The school said that Canvas — the most widely used online learning management system — has a default setting to list students alphabetically by last name.

Researchers also found that those with last names that appeared at the end of the list were given remarks that were “more negative and less polite” on their assignments.
