    Good.
    It will force such colleges to adopt admissions standards that 
realistically reflect whether the applicant can handle normal college-level 
study at that college.
    That beats the hell out of colleges recruiting large numbers of freshmen 
who cannot handle freshmen coursework and then having freshmen course profs 
stuck with trying to avoid flunking too many.  Faculty in such courses are 
routinely pressured by administrators to avoid flunking too many students.
