I used to be pretty involved with student government when I was an undergrad. a few of our first year courses had a 70-80% failure rate, which the profs and higher year students supported (of course) and which the administration despised (of course). the course was introduction to discrete math. it wasn't a very hard class, but most people who enter computer science in first year have no idea what computer science is, so this was a big shock.
