The proposal seeks to address the state’s academically prepared students being denied admission to Wisconsin public colleges “without rhyme or reason,” according to a memo seeking cosponsors for the proposal sent from Cabral-Guevara and state Rep. Jerry O’Connor, both Republicans.
“These A+, high ACT scoring, students are left wondering if there’s more they could have done to get into a public college in their home state,” the memo states. “Unfortunately, when these students, their parents, teachers, and school district administrators call our office looking for an explanation, there is literally none we can offer.”
