George Washington University will no longer require that students submit their ACT or SAT scores for most freshman admissions.
Dean of Admissions Karen Stroud Felton said in a statement Monday that university administrators were concerned that below-average test scores were leading some otherwise strong students to not apply. […]
School officials say testing will still be required for home-schooled applicants, students from high schools that provide only narrative evaluation of students, college athletes and those applying for a seven-year program that leads to a combined bachelor’s/medical degree. …

What would he have said to Obama in response to the “accept gay marriage or else” crusade, too?
Congratulations GWU, you are now officially a “Historically Black College.”
Code for: "Looks like Obama's son"?
*snort*
Good question. Obama may have bit off more than he can chew in lecturing Africa about homosexual marriage. Likely that the African king would have told Obama to shove it where the sun don’t shine.
well, this is the same “Christian” university that both had the AntiChrist-ian Satanist IslamoNazi-in-Chief speak there, but actually covered up its Christian identification symbols (crucifixes) to please him
so now they can’t attract qualified students, so they’re waiving the qualifications
the path down to Hell is greased with unbelief
They would probably say it is OK for blacks to own slaves but only when whites own them is there a problem. Just like it is OK for blacks to say the "n" word.

CASE IN POINT A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her/ son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B decided to "change" them so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World hate-filled US history.
THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....
NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.
The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.
REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:
<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;
<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,
<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;
<><> using teaching as brainwashing;
<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy ideology.

Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups
Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604
In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."
...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook findings TTT has found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school history..."The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism."
"Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry. Strangely enough, these radicals would not hesitate to use the government's police power to enforce the changes they desire. Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

So skin color,sexual “orientation”,religious belief and political affiliation will be the determining factors.
The SAT/ACT have become jokes anyway. They’ve been dumbing down the tests and running courses to pass them.
Maybe so, but this is throwing out the baby with the bath water.
Colleges should be more like the military service academies where they look at look at scholastics, sports, volunteerism, and other well rounded properties of the applicant.
Actually in this case, I’d rather hire U of Phoenix grads than GWU grads in the future.
As you know, kind-hearted Hillary is adding this to her kindly 2016 agenda.
No argument there.
. . . before Planned Parenthood could get access to the “parts”?
G.W.U. = Grades Were Undocumented
if you're failing tests on the subjects you're being taught... how can you claim to be a 'strong student'???
