A growing consortium of University of California (U.C.) educators is imploring the state system to consider basic testing standards for STEM applicants. As of Thursday, more than 1,400 U.C. faculty members have signed onto a letter calling for the reinstatement of the SAT/ACT mathematics requirement for STEM majors, citing a dramatic drop in math proficiency. The letter, written by four U.C. Berkeley math professors and a law professor, claims that U.C. STEM professors now "observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics while simultaneously teaching the material students need for sciences, engineering, economics, and other quantitatively demanding fields."
