[...] universities are taking in students to study science who do not have the preparation, and possibly ability, to complete courses of proper rigor[...]
In Australia, the pressure to combat declining science undergraduate enrollment has resulted in dumbed-down courses with lower standards enrolling many unprepared students (a worldwide theme, mind you). Whilst keeping the departments afloat – at least temporarily – the long-term damage to education and science is huge. The other logical extension, recruiting foreign students, has lead to interesting, if flawed, experiments in foreign campuses.
If this student has not been taking AP courses in high school then they are already at somewhat of a disadvantage.
