Note: I spent 2 years at WSU in the 80s before transferring to an out of state college. I loathe what's become of the place. A mismanaged and predatory degree mill.
I'm not sure the article is a good example - dropping the requirement for a high school-level math class, and letting the majors decide what math is required.

It seems like they're focusing on helping students navigate the university:

Academic supports — including learning communities, peer mentoring, study skills support, tutoring, financial literacy education and more — are available to all students. In addition, the university monitors students’ progress to degree biweekly from start to graduation, identifying barriers and addressing them.
