A mathematics professor at the University of California, Berkeley, acknowledged using artificial intelligence to help edit an op-ed published in the San Francisco Standard that criticized what she described as a "severe" math deficiency among students.
Zvezdelina Stankova said in the 2,000-word piece that some of her math students were "five to eight years" behind and lacked a "middle school" education on fractions and basic algebra.
Stankova attributed the deficiency to UC's test-blind admissions policies, arguing that the elimination of the SAT as a benchmark had allowed insufficiently prepared students to gain admission to Berkeley's rigorous mathematics program.
