If anything, this will make professors more accountable in terms of creating pieces of assessment that accurately measure students knowledge. Instead of the ol' ´whoa, a bunch of kids just failed the only test they get to write this term, so I will magically 'curve the grades to get more kids to pass. or the opposite where too many kids got an A.
Once you have that you can avoid punishing a class that just happens to have a bunch of smart kids or rewarding a class of not so smart kids.

This does the opposite of making professors more accountable. Now they'll give out grades however they damn well please, which will inevitably be unfair. Some profs will give out lower/higher grades than others, and it makes the system more arbitrary and less transparent.
