Seems like a mischaracterization because I don't see a problem.

UC CS undergrads had to take statistics for engineers and scientists.

UC CS undergrad majors in particular could end within 2 courses from a math undergrad degree. Is this not the case that squishier applied courses are possible?

EE/CS undergrads had to take the entire upper-division physics track for scientists and engineers, including modern physics.

So has something changed since then and is something changing back?
