It’s bad enough when you import your future overlords via “high skilled” immigration, but now we’re going elevate our 85 IQ population to lord it over us too.

GPA is inadequate. Too much variation in education quality and rigor. The SAT is a standard reference. It’s going to be a mess.

It’s at the very least assisted suicide, when “Whites need not apply” is the rule of the day.

Let’s make a college degree even more worthless.

All of my male children did better on the SAT than their grades would indicate. SAT is a very good predictor of college success. So are GPAs, but those are more. . .relative, and lots of boys are late bloomers (the SAT shows their potential).

A very sad day.

The real question which the judge screwed up on is, ‘How were disabled applicants put at a disadvantage re the use of the SAT/Act tests for admissions?

I remember all of us took the SAT in one large room on a calendar scheduled day.

If disabled students need help in transportation, moving around to the test room, etc., the schools can certainly help them do that.

If there are prep problems, that might also be addressed by the schools thru tutoring, etc. Given the use of computers and videoscreens, I don’t see how there is a problem.

In the past jobs went overseas because the workers were cheaper; now they’ll go overseas because our workers will be illiterate.

Nobody ever flourished by moving at the pace of the slowest...

It is reinforcing the current two-tiered system; degrees in the hands of certain preferred minorities are suspect until proven otherwise.

A simple written paragraph during the application process can usually distinguish between the two. When people use ‘s to denote plurals, it is a safe bet they don’t read.

Why bother with tests???

Merit doesn’t count-—fill those seats with whomever-—The taxpayers pay for about half of the operating costs of state schools.

Use the BRIBERY system instead....

In 4-6 years, there won’t be a single person with a ‘college degree’ worth hiring.

Keep in mind:

The GPA is based upon ‘grading on the curve’.

If the highest grade on a test is ‘70’-—that will equal an A...and it all goes downhill from there.
