California universities dropped Standardized Testing - Now they say their students aren't prepared
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of California universities dropping standardized testing on student preparedness and the subsequent calls to abandon the policy.
Six years ago, the two largest university systems in the country announced they would no longer consider an applicant’s SAT or ACT scores. DEI advocates applauded the decision, claiming that the use of standardized testing was a “racist metric” and a method of “illegal wealth and race discrimination.” Now, data shows a stunning lack of academic preparedness in students and hundreds of professors are asking for the policy to be abandoned.
