University of California Professors Urge Regents to Reinstate College-Entrance Exams
More than 1,100 University of California math and science professors have asked the UC regents to bring back standardized entrance exams. They state that students arriving without required preparation are lowering academic standards and increasing demands on faculty time.
jewishpress.comMore than 1,100 University of California math and science professors have sent a letter to the UC regents requesting the return of college-entrance exams for admissions decisions. The letter states that students who lack preparation in core subjects are lowering academic standards across campuses and placing additional demands on teaching resources.
The professors argue that test scores provide an objective measure that helps identify applicants ready for rigorous coursework.
The letter claims that without standardized test data, departments must devote more time to remedial instruction and that overall course rigor has declined. No timeline for a regents vote or formal response has been announced.
