What is the point of phasing out SAT/ACT tests if California just makes up its own?

I can't read the rest of the article without a subscription, but...

Maybe the college will adopt a placement test, similar to the placement test given by community colleges.

“The battle against standardized tests has raged for years because minority students score, on average, lower than their white classmates. “

This has less to do with race, and more to do with capturing more student loan-applicants for full-boat tuition to support their ivory tower just a little bit longer before it collapses.
