The plaintiffs are f#cking d*uche baggues.

They should get a life.

1–Qualifications to get in==combination/evaluation of many things including required SAT, High School GPA, which High School it Was, Sports Played, Community Activity, Letters from Congressmen, etc.

2–Units Needed to Get a Degree and Prerequistes to take a class. How many of your college prep classes that you took will qualify versus starting from scratch at the new school will be independently reviewed.

I’m not going to re-read the linked article–it may have been ambiguous as I don’t think any school admits students solely on high school performance absent a pre-arrangement.

You are correct.

Also, if you want to transfer to UC, you usually see a counsellor to find out what courses will count and take those, and you will not expect other courses to transfer (like that underwater basketweaving class that transformed your life). If you don’t get counselling.. then you aren’t very smart. If you got bad counseling, tough break, it happens sometimes, but it isn’t the University’s fault.

I suspect that the truth is there is an agenda here that involves making the University Christian. Its a state university, so that will happen about the time Hell freezes over, if you believe in Hell.

Thanks bobbo. That was one of the 1st questions I thought of when I read the article.

Good. I’m glad to hear I missed that point. That’s what I get for skimming instead of reading.

Still haven’t received results of the survey. Perhaps they’ll send it only after they determine that it’s done.

Courses teaching a god centered cause for history or science cannot be included towards qualifying for UC BASED ON COURSE WORK. Those failing to qualify on course work can still qualify under the SAT testing service.

So–its abundantly clear that your religious training does not qualify and yet if you are of hypocritical stuff (what you call “strength of will”) and qualify under the PSA test, you can still get in.

So Scott==what you advocate for is completely part of the system and the only thing left is whether of not the court/schools/authority should speak clearly on the subject.

Clearly, religion is not training for a higher education. Saying so might help some having less strength of will in their earlier years see the route to their success more easily.

Let the truth, plainly stated, rule our lives. Somebody in the enlightenment surely said that.

It’s nothing new not to get transfer credit for a lot of different courses at Cal. Generally speaking if it is not a high-level accredited school lots of courses will not transfer. A lot of JC and community college courses will not transfer. They are strict about it, that’s why they are a top ten school. The fact that some idiots sued for credits is ridiculous.

I support the exclusion of people with inadequate education from institutes of higher learning. They are merely setting prerequisites.

I do not quite agree with bobbo on this one. I do not want it stated plainly. I want it weasel worded. This will allow those who come from such backgrounds but have managed to educate themselves to potentially take a test showing that they have attained the appropriate level of education on their own and still further their own education.

There are some who come from extremely religious backgrounds and manage to make up their own minds about such things and break free of the enslavement to an imaginary friend. These people are often among the best and brightest. Imagine the strength of will and intelligence it takes to overcome such teachings from birth.

Such people should be rewarded and may be among the top of their class.

There’s a difference between “studying God’s impact on science and math” and refusing to accept our modern understanding of subjects like astronomy and biology in favor of a book and an invisible man who lives in the sky.

No one who thinks the universe is only 10,000 years old belongs in a university, sorry.
