University of California President James B. Milliken today (June 11) issued the following statement on the UC Academic Senate plan to review admissions policies:
The Board of Regents and University leadership take very seriously the critical issue of college preparedness, and the UC Academic Senate has proposed a comprehensive, data-driven review to support its recommendations to strengthen student readiness and success at UC. There are few things more important on our agenda. The faculty review will focus on both preparation and admissions, including whether standardized testing should be required. It's important that UC gets this right. The UC Board of Regents and I will receive an update on the Academic Assembly's work in July, and we look forward to considering the recommendations that emerge from this important work.
