I graduated from Brooklyn College in the 70’s and it was a fine and well respected school. When I returned for a visit in the 90’s it looked like a combat zone with security fences and guard stations, the buildings and quad in disrepair. Now I read that they are going to have remedial courses since incoming students dont have the skills to do college work. I remember a classroom debate where I argued against the then new open admissions policy. All I can say is, I told them so.

There are probably many more Brooklyn colleges today.

Well, you don't have to worry about the quad any longer. They demolished it. It's kind of odd seeing a vast empty space where there used to be a huge building.

I'm grateful that Badillo and Goldstein tried to mitigate the worst aspects of open admissions policies at CUNY, although I don't think they went far enough.
