Lawrence KU officials report nearly a quarter of the 1979-80 freshman class required noncredit remedial math. A national ACE survey shows 21.1 percent of fall 1980 entrants needed math help. KU will require two non remedial math or logic courses for graduation under new BGS rules, with math standards exceeding basic algebra and geometry.
