Not entirely sure since I wasn't here when the discussion over the change was made, but part of it was a concern over grade inflation, as well as I read that a lot of Professors, particularly in the more subjective areas of grading wanted to make greater distinctions in quality of work.

In reality the way it's set up, you can find professors who ignore the +/- and use the old system when they report grades...those professors are awesome to find.
