Just Equations executive director Pamela Burdman submitted public comment to the chairs of the California State Assembly Education Committee and Higher Education Committee in response to their Oct. 10, 2024 hearing on the mathematics requirements for public university admissions.

In the letter, Burdman shares concerns that the University of California’s Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS) deliberations on the issue were neither transparent nor thorough. The process also lacked participation from K-12 educators and analysis on the impact on student education equity.
