there will always be those who believe the barriers should be higher - that someone believes that AND landed here is confusing. Still... As someone who worked for 2 decades in the OPEN ENROLLMENT community college system, I assure you that there are plenty of barriers to completion, calculus notwithstanding.
If the argument is for a 4-year university to make *their* requirements more demanding, go for it. It's easy enough to land a job in a position of power to implement your ideas.
