    ending the SATs effectively abolishes academic merit as a path to college. this leaves exactly two options for young people hoping to enter a top school: win a lottery, or know someone.https://twitter.com/TeresaWatanabe/status/1461732826739396611 …

    The end of an era: @UofCalifornia permanently ends standardized tests for admission, a half century after it adopted the SAT and propelled it into widespread national use. No alternative exam exists that wouldn't create biased results, UC says. https://lat.ms/3261p1F

        Mike Solana Retweeted Kane

        these are state-funded schools. dramatically altering admissions should not be allowed unless the state can demonstrate how exactly their new process won't lead directly to greater bias and, almost certainly, racist admissions standards.https://twitter.com/kane/status/1462628526197194756?s=20 …

        I wonder what exactly admissions process @UofCalifornia claims is less biased than the standardized testing it just axed? https://twitter.com/TeresaWatanabe/status/1461732826739396611 …

        Becomes similar to job interviews, just bureaucrats deciding instead of HR gatekeepers

        "According to the Department of Education, the average high school grade point average was 2.68 in 1990. By 2016, it had risen to 3.38, with the biggest inflation occurring in private independent schools." Rich private schools give higher grades

        The flailing of a dying institution. All courses could have been put online a decade ago. They know the gig is up and are trying to keep relevant. If my kids still go to a 4 year college when they become of age, I’ll be very surprised.
