The system is working as designed. If they don’t want to provide remedial then they need some pre-admission test to weed them out. The students can try again later after maturing more or taking community college classes.

Right? That's what the source article is about, the UC faculty would like to resume using the SAT and ACT as pre-admissions tests.
I am more saying that isn’t enough. You can get a sufficient SAT/ACT score and still need remedial training
If only there was a national standardized test that assessed whether students are prepared for college or not.

Oh, wait

It’s inadequate. You can get in with a satisfactory score and still need help
