I’m going to guess that any student that needs remedial classes never sees the inside of the Caltech campus.

Yep. Caltech is private, and while it’s still California and kooky, it’s not Cal State kooky.

Social Promotion comes to California’s colleges and Universities.
They ruined the K-12 system, and now are working on the collegiate level.
Simple. No one should hire any graduate of any California K-12 school, community college, or university.
Of course that’s probably what the Libs want, a large block of uneducated, unemployable voters, who will vote themselves government benefits.
Wait a minute. That’s what they already have in California and in other Lib strongholds.

His wife was retarded: She's a pilot nowBS. Maybe a private pilot, maybe even a co-pilot on a junker; my son "Ace" has a degree, skill and ambition. I've been flying almost 50 years myself, and never met an employed "'tard." BS

at Cal Tech, the four-year graduation rate is just 19%
It is? I'd like to see some data/backup for that stat.
The four year graduation rate at Caltech is 84.8% and the overall graduation rate is 91%,
both among the best in the country.
The lessening of standards in this story apply to the California State University system, not to the more demanding University of California or private schools like Caltech and Stanford. This lowering of standards is still pretty sad, and hopefully not a harbinger of things to come for the UC system as well.

Very few students finish college in four years. Most students change their majors at least once. The average at most schools is over five years to get a degree.
To: davikkm
now add in the teachers letting pick their own grades and we're done...

If I was at Cal Tech, I’d be SUING the media for the 19% claim. That’s just insane, not to mention that they are a PRIVATE SCHOOL.
The media is, again, showing their idiocy, by using the term “Cal Tech” to mean “Students studying for Technical Degrees at California State Universities”
At a minimum, Cal Tech is owed a big-time APOLOGY.

“Just hand the(m) a degree!!”
Just recall that Florida Memorial University awarded Trayvon Martin a Aviation degree after he was dead.

The article (and this media writer) are just fine. It was the original poster, who apparently re-typed some words from the article, who confused “Cal State” and “Cal Tech”!!
Another example of “read twice before posting once!”
