A good understanding of maths is very important for a lot of college courses. My degree is in software engineering and I had a maths module for the first 3 years of my course. There are scenarios where you have to replicate maths formulae in code and it's extremely important to be able to work out a maths problem on paper before attempting to write it in code. Also remember that the logical thinking behind solving a maths problem can be applied to other areas as well, and I'd imagine that would be the case for business courses. University/college only really gives you the knowledge of how to learn things on your own after you graduate.
As for universities/colleges being messed up? The one I went to spent a large sum of money on an indoor running track that nobody uses and spent nothing on a library which was out-dated and far too small.
