"Between 2020 and 2025, the number of students whose math skills fall below middle-school level increased nearly thirtyfold, reaching roughly one in eight members of the entering cohort."

How is this even possible? Its insane to me that they've giving high school diplomas to people with middle-school level math skills, let alone college.

UCSD (and many other universities) dropped SAT testing requirements, and high schools are under political pressure to graduate kids who never learned elementary school math. The universities are now shocked by the results.
