After six years of deliberation, the California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees recently signaled that it’s likely to drop a proposal for a fourth-year math or science requirement for applicants, with some critics saying that the proposal could discourage low-income students from applying to the university.
At a meeting last month, CSU officials recommended that the board reject the proposal, citing a November study (pdf) that shows nearly all CSU applicants already take a fourth year of math or science in high school.
