> At issue is whether high school students can apply to UC if they have taken a data science course in place of Algebra 2, the traditional third year of high school math that used to be required of all applicants. > The expansion to data science was seen as an equity move for Black and Latino students who have excellent academic records but were being kept from four-year colleges by not having taken Algebra 2.

Unless "Data Science" is PC-speak for "Advance Web Clicking with Buzzwords".
