Colleges arc going to he even tougher to
get into next (all, an American Council on
l-.ducation (ACT!) survey has found.
Institutions nationwide, for the second
time this decade, arc moving almost in
lockMcp to raise their admissions standards
and iron "gimmick" courscs out of their
curricula.
"In general, colleges want to get the
message to high school students to take col
lege preparatory courses so colleges can snip
teaching remedial classes," said liva Cialamhos,
co-author of a Southern Regional
i-.ducation Board admissions standards
study.
"TIIK Ply'BI.IC has made it clear it ex
peels colleges 10 provide mgner euucanon,
not remedial education," she said.
"It's a conscious effort to improve the
quality of education," said I'aul l.ingcnfcltcr
o( Illinois' Hoard Higher l-.ducation.
"I.ducators are taking a look inward lor
ways to improve education and reduce
remediation."
Of more than 4(H) colleges surveyed, 60
perccnt plan (o upgrade entrance requirements,
including standardized test
scores.
Two-thirds of the nation's schools now
make freshmen take math and l-nglish placement
tests in order to be accepted, while lor
ly percent require writing proneicncy exams,
the siudy showed.

Washington, lor example, arc examining
tougher entrance requirements. Arizona's :
new standards go into effect in 1987 and Tennessee's
in 1989. North Carolina's Higher
I'.ducation Commission wants to reject
students who score under 7(X) on their
s>rli(il;ii.iii- Antiiudf Tests (SAT's) Iron) all
state schools.
And at the University of Southern C ulifor- ^
nia, this year's new standards mean next
fall's freshmen class could boast a .1.45
average Cil'A.
Not everyone favors the tougher standards,
however.
Raising minimum SAI stores will "he
devastating (o our plan for racial admission,"
said University of North '/(Carolina
spokesman Robert Dawson, "l our years of
school work gives more of a prediction of
success than a three-hour examination on
Saturday morning."
OTIIKR ( HIIK S sav touuher standards ?
will disqualify "average" students,
minorities and others who may flourish in
college despite poor academic records.
The move to stiffcr requirements - particularly
higher test scores comes at the
