Leftist college administrators pushing for lowering college entrance requirements
The University of California system is totally dominated by Leftists--who never miss a chance to demonstrate their great virtue.
One of the things on the Left's endless list of grievances is that universities don't have enough black and minority graduates. But never fear: The Left has a solution! They're lowering college admissions standards.
As part of this, the U-Cal system is on the verge of eliminating the requirement that applicants take the SAT or ACT, because not enough minority students score well on these tests. In the arcane patois of leftists, the tests "have a racial impact on admissions." The chancellor of UC-Berkeley summed it up beautifully, saying the tests “really contribute to the inequities of our system.”
Other universities are removing the requirement that students at least take algebra in either college or high school. Cuz according to leftist profs, algebra (along with all math) is racist.
The "director of university relations and policy" for the Michigan Association of State Universities has said that not requiring math will ideally “lead to more successful graduation outcomes.”
Oh, undoubtedly. But why stop there? If the goal is "more successful graduation outcomes," why not eliminate hard courses altogether? Why not simply award a college degree to anyone who graduates from high school, ensuring the best possible "graduation outcome"?
