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 it’s 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.

The further ‘dumbing down’ continues.
And they will wonder why they can’t get a job!
This school has just put their graduates on the ‘not hireable’ list for business and industry.
Note to self: Any resumes with Wayne State on them, put right into the trash can.
Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable sub-human who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.
An ipad will calculate my change better anyhow. Unfortunately these people think that taxing “the rich” will pay off the debt and let them eat caviar & hire Lindsey Graham to wipe their butt every time they poop. And they will vote.
Figures it would be a college named “Wayne.”
Uh Wayne is the name of the county in which the university is located...so what is the problem with “Wayne?”
“Diversity” got 49 people killed in Orlando. Somebody buy these retards a newspaper.
You’ve apparently missed all the “Wayne” memes! ... The name has become synonymous with crazy idiots.
Sad for anyone graduating from Wayne State~their degree has just been cheapened.
A waste of time at best. A brainwashing regimen at worst.
OK, so tell me honestly, without reference, "What is the sine of forty five degrees?" Exactly. I.e. not as an approximate decimal. Do you know it? I hope so, considering your aggressive statement.
BTW, I have posed this question before on this forum, as I have settled on it as a shibboleth to determine the members of the mathematical tribe ... all in good humor, of course.
Ugh!
The sign of 45 degrees is Acquarius.
Did I win anything?
WSU is 54% white and 44% male. So 22% privileged white oppressors.
Clearly need to diversify further.
Well, you misspelled Aquarius, so I guess not!
