Plan to raise college admission standards
Regents consider requiring a pre-college curriculum with at least a 2.0 GPA for all public universities. If approved, the change would not take effect for four years to allow student preparation. Officials say tougher standards aim to boost retention and graduation rates under the Foresight 2020 plan.
