What is "garbage language" and why is it so hard to avoid using?

There are universities which require some core courses in each of the main divisions (Humanities, Social Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Biological Sciences) as a requirement for a bachelor’s degree, but it’s not a universal requirement. Plenty of art or lit majors graduate without calculus or statistics. And when core classes are required, it’s to create a well-rounded education, not to try to make people drop out. Why would a school want the bad publicity that comes with having a high dropout rate?
