We have full time faculty members whose sole job is to teach these courses and we have dozens of full sections every semester. Students who begin at 030 HAVE TWO YEARS OF WORK ahead of them before they can even enter a college level math course.
It's a terrible waste of resources when these people have already taken courses in the subject matter in the past, not to mention the fact that few people who start on this pathway, ever reach the level of being able to enter a college level math course.
