So I have my B/A from Cal State Fullerton

I have an MBA from CSUF

I inquire about taking some more courses there so I call Admissions and Records there to see what I need to do

The idiot - I mean woman - tells me everything. Then she adds, "You need to show proof you passed the EWP (English Writing Proficiency Test).

She has my transcript in front of her - keep this in mind

I ask "why" - I graduated from CSUF - that is good enough. She tells me the school need to see proof I passed the EWP

I then ask her if the transscript shows I am a CSUF Alum - and she says "YES" - she acknowledges I am a CSUF Alum. I then ask her (a question I already know the answer to) if it is possible to graduate from CSUF w/o passing the EWP - and she tells me "NO" - I MUST pass the EWP to get a degree at CSUF

So now I tell her she has acknowledged I graduated from CSUF and NO ONE graduates CSUF w/o passing the EWP - so why, then, do I need to show proof I passed the EWP

She tells me "I'm sorry sir but you will need to go to the testing center (on campus) and get proof you passed the EWP or else I can't process your application

Go back and read this whole thing 1 more time and see just how STUPID Government employees are!

The way Rome makes that school sound, I am surprised it is a requirement.

Collegiate red tape may be the worst there is, maybe only government can compare. My wife is from Canada so I have working knowledge of our dealings with the INS, not a lot of fun there either..

Rome is a fine one to talk - he went to UCSB - or Cal State Goleta as we call it. Compared to UCSB - Fullerton is like MIT or Harvard

At UCSB the Blood Alcohol Content of most students is higher than their GPA

In the movie Animal House - Belushi and company would have been Valedictorian's at UCSB
