Not to disparage educational opportunities and the lack thereof, but I must inquire where you came across such BA students who did not know what a fraction is? For at the very least, there are standardized math tests and SATs that stipulate statistics, algebra, geometry and so on

Yes I know the school. The matter is pedagogical—whether you believe SATs should be counted as a filter. However, these must be BFA students if they are arts students, not BA. BA students’ acceptance is contingent upon SAT scores, where math is always also taken into notice.
You can get into college with just a GED and no SAT score by transferring from a community college with a sufficient GPA. That's what I did.

Isnt this usually limited to state univerisites explicitly? It seems to me if we extend Reza’s argument in the last instance it would stipulate that all undergeads, includinf would-be transfers, study mathematics to some degree. Which is not usually stipulated by art schools

I took the GED without studying math at all and managed to pass, albeit with a low math score. Didn't take College Algebra until I was 25, years after I successfully matriculated at a state college (my academic history is a long and boring story).

But I for one am thanksful for having had to take a science/math cluster in undergrad (which I was able to fulfill partially with logic courses)
