- W214286179 abstract "REMARKS TO PRESIDENTS COUNCIL NASULGC WASHINGTON, D . C . NOVEMBER 16 , 1976 My purpose this afternoon, in response to the invitation of our chairman, Phil Shriver, is to introduce for the Council's consideration issues bearing upon the rise in average grades and the decline in basic literacy that seemingly afflicts both the public schools and the colleges and universities of the country. No one of us here today is unacquainted with the alleged decline in the performance of our students in reading, writing, and mathematics as measured, at least, by the SAT and ACT scores of entering freshmen and the corresponding decline in scores achieved by graduating seniors in the Graduate Record Exam. Similarly, each of us here will have our own view as to the severity and meaning of these trends and how our respective institutions should respond or adapt to them. But Whatever our view may be, we surely cannot Wish the issues away or pretend that the public will be indifferent either to our responsibility in the matter or to our opinions . There is , of course, disagreement as to the meaning of the decline in average scores attained on the ACT, SAT and the GRE, the inflation in grades and the observations of our teaching colleagues that students are in reality and in general less well prepared for university work and more in need of remedial assistance than before, e.g. , the October 25, 1976 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education featured an article entitled qThe Decline in Literacy Is a Fiction, if Not a Hoaxq; the November issue of Change Magazine devoted a special section to a discussion of qThe Decline of Literacyq which was treated not as a question but as an assertion; and the Los Angeles Times" @default.
