there will always be those who believe the barriers should be higher - that someone believes that AND landed here is confusing. Still... As someone who worked for 2 decades in the OPEN ENROLLMENT community college system, I assure you that there are plenty of barriers to completion, calculus notwithstanding.
If the argument is for a 4-year university to make *their* requirements more demanding, go for it. It's easy enough to land a job in a position of power to implement your ideas.

A much different curriculum to get a UNIVERSITY degree. Different institutions offer credentials in areas of specialty, and a curriculum that is much more focused on those specialties. Not pushing for a change in the system, just stating what I WISH were the case.

Huh? TESU is a university.
The argument was made that everyone with a degree from a university should have to pass Calculus 1 (which is what I replied to- see quote). I think I need to go wash my hair.
