Raising standards
Earlier this month, Connecticut State University system trustee Gail H. Williams spoke at ACTA's ATHENA Roundtable on the CSU System's recent move to raise admissions standards. Today, she has an op-ed on the same subject in the New Haven Register. As she points out, the trustees responded to very real problems: too many freshmen needing remedial courses, and retention and graduation rates that, as she puts it "need improvement." And they did so in a way that should ensure that the changes don't wreak havoc in the K-12 schools. Do take a look.
Gail is, by the way, a member of the Advisory Board of ACTA's Institute for Effective Governance, our service arm for trustees.
