"Why is my report card lying?"
Go read this. The college remediation industry is the biggest waste of money and time in America; everything it does was supposed to have been done earlier. My father always referred to these classes as "high school" when he taught them, and that's what they are. 8 out of 10 of the entering students at the "University" in question need remediation in English, 7 out of 10 in math. 80% are unprepared.
The students have been defrauded. They have been required to attend institutions (lets stop calling them "schools") which have wasted their time and taught them much less than they need.
