University of California, Berkeley mathematics professor Zvezdelina Stankova publicly criticized university admissions standards, stating that a significant portion of her students enter college unprepared for calculus.

In an op-ed, Stankova revealed that some students are five to eight years behind in basic mathematics, forcing her to spend valuable office hours teaching middle-school concepts like fractions and basic algebra rather than college-level integrals.

She argued that lowering academic bars to boost enrollment numbers ultimately harms students, leaving them struggling to keep up with demanding university coursework and unprepared for careers in STEM fields.
