The University of California system is under pressure to elevate high school Computer Science courses to Math/Science status. University of California pressured to count computer science toward high school math requirement - San Jose Mercury News
The university is right. It's just NOT math. You could create a math class that used computer programming as a vehicle, but that's not the same thing.

All my computer science courses: Computer Science, AP Computer Science, and Advanced Computer Science courses were taught under the Mathematics Department. However, Visual Basic course was taught by the Business Department.
