Public College Drops Math Requirement, May Replace It With Diversity Photo of Blake Neff BLAKE NEFF Reporter 10:21 PM 06/14/2016 924 924 Share Math [ImageFlow/Shutterstock] Math [ImageFlow/Shutterstock]
A public university in Michigan has announced its deleting a requirement that all students complete at least one math course before graduating. At the same time, the school is seriously considering a new requirement that would compel students to complete four courses that promote diversity.
Wayne State University (WSU) in Detroit is one of the largest schools in Michigan, with some 27,000 students. Until now, all of them had to either take one of three basic math classes to earn their degree, or else test out by performing sufficiently on a relevant SAT, CLEP, or AP test.
But going forward, students will not longer have to demonstrate any mathematical competency to graduate, unless their particular course of study requires it.

Aha! but I do ! You took half of the 44% M population and assigned them to the W popluation, notwithstanding that the W and nonW populations were not evenly divided.
At any rate, a range of answers are possible to the question of what fraction of the population are PWO.
It’s more important to appreciate that Islam and homosexuality have made America great than it is to understand limits of functions.
Dag nab it did you want me to have to take off’n my shoes fer the countin’ too?
Sorry! :)
That’s ANOTHER one!
Enyhow what will I need this kinda stuff for to get my jernolism degree?
How is a student with no math skills to know once he’s completed four diversity courses?
Why not just drop English, history, and science requirements (if there are any) as well and just have one department and major: "Imperialist White Ice Devils Must Die"
Math really is a “thing”, isn’t it. You can think of it like plumbing: a special skill that we are quite happy to have others exercise on our behalf, however much the plumbers may revel in their skill.
It’s true. Every person named Wayne that I have ever known has been strange in one way or another.
You mean Marion Morrison, don't you?
BA has fewer math/science requirements.
So, does this mean that women find math “hard” ... But mandating that everybody love them for being a woman/gay/les/trans/nothing “easy” because then they can tell you what they want you to do?
One math class = Bad. Too Hard. Not needed.
FOUR diversity classes are “essential” ???
A hard math is good to find.
Sorry. I only have it memorized to 3 decimal places.
Quick: If the machinists asks to cut another 0.05 mm off of the flange face, how deep does he need to move the machine to make the old gouge shallow enough so a flexatallic gasket doesn’t leak at 1150 degrees steam at 2600 psig?
If the opposite side of the valve was trimmed -0.25 mm, how much shorter is the total valve, given a tolerance of +/- 0.002 total length?
What day of the year is it in a leap year given a decimal date of 2016.3452, and - more important - what is wrong with the following data?

Come on. Square roots and theoretical math definitions of geometry don’t impress me.

I’m pretty sure Wayne State is the “university” that granted degrees to the illiterate now-former superintendent of Detroit Public Schools ... you know, the one who was known for masturbating during official meetings.
College has become a participation trophy.
Stay at one long enough and degree will be awarded. Plagiarize, copy from the Internet, doesn’t matter, just turn something in by the end of the semester/quarter and the “student” will pass the class guaranteed.
