Wayne State To Increase Admission Standards

'This Can't Be An Open Access University'

A new admissions standard proposed for Wayne State University will require some students to take a summer program before allowing them to be admitted to the university.

The move from WSU President Allen Gilmour is part of a shake-up of admission standards as the school tries to improve its academic reputation by diverting students administrators feel need extra help to be successful at the Detroit university.

"This can't be an open access university," Gilmour told the Free Press in an exclusive interview this morning. "If we are admitting people who we shouldn't admit, that isn't fair to them."
