Unprepared college students forced to relearn 'middle school mathematics,' California professors reveal

Over 500 University of California professors signed a letter urging the reinstatement of SAT/ACT math requirements, citing the need to re-teach middle school mathematics to underprepared students. The professors argue this undermines STEM education quality and California's future workforce, while a 2019 lawsuit previously halted UC from using standardized test scores due to claims of racial and socioeconomic bias.
