"High schoolers fall short, CSU learns"
Nearly six months after giving the first statewide exam to identify students who aren't prepared for university-level course work, California State University officials found that nearly 80 percent of high school juniors they tested are not ready for college English.
The same test - called the Early Assessment Program - dealt better results in math, with 45 percent of participating juniors posting scores too low to prove they are ready for college-level math...
As with other tests, there are questions about the methodology, etc. that only education specialists could answer. The results are pretty shocking nonetheless. The article says the results weren't broken down by ethnicity, but I'd imagine that a good percentage of those who took this test were illegal immigrants or the citizen children of illegal immigrants.

And, kids of those with green cards shouldn't be termed citizens either unless parents have been here legally @10yrs. and add something we as citizens desire to add to our country.

Not Univ material. Not Univ. material.
Stop all this crap. Send Memos. Mock and scorn these socialists.
Of asses, about asses, by asses.
More full employment crap for overbenefited professors and staff. CSU then gives them 15 months after admitted to get skill levels up--with more costly quota ass programs/ tutoring...and Pell Grants, etc.
I am not alone in stating: kids of illegals are not citizens.
