This decision was made largely because the current (math) requirement is at a level already required by most high school mathematics curriculum
Can't say I disagree with the new policy. I took four years of math in HS and never used any of it.
On the other hand, I took statistics in college and since I was in quality assurance for many years, used them all the time.

Instead of algebra, Perhaps all college students should take a statistics course.
