Unprepared students at Cal States

This is an article discussing the freshmen at CSU. It seems they face the same problem faced by us.
"...On average, 45 percent of CSU freshmen needed a remedial course in English and 37 percent needed a course in math before progressing to college-level material. The report offers disappointing evidence that high school-based efforts to boost the college-readiness of California's young people are still falling short."
The story discuss.."The CSU trustees aimed to have 74 to 78 percent of incoming freshmen ready for college by fall 2004 - and 90 percent ready by fall 2008.
Does this mean we will have higher enrollments as students are turned away from the CSU system? YES
"..Students have 15 months to pass these remedial courses. If not, they can study at the community college level and then return to CSU."
However most of these students do not do too well.
"... Students sent back to community colleges rarely re-enter the CSUs, the report found.
If we wish to help these students we must open up and push Math and English classes.
"...The report found that 49.3 percent of SJSU students needed remedial English classes and 33.4 percent needed remedial math classes. Mexican-Americans and Pacific Islanders were most in need of English remediation. African-Americans were most in need of math remediation."
Can we at Rio take CSU remedial students? Mt.SAC could do this with Cal Poly, Long Beach City could do this with C.S. Long Beach. Too bad we don't have a Cal State nearby!
