Next thing you know, these universities will be bringing back slavery! (/sarc)
Captain Obvious put his foot down.
Butt, butt, butt, having a brain is racist!
Everybody knows that objective standards are racist.
“Our goals are to attract the best and brightest students”
You cannot do that without the SAT and ACT tests.
Those test were created to “level the playing field” and find “diamonds in the rough” - not from rich, elite schools only.
Sob stories, personal hardship, first generation immigrants, legacies and grade-inflated GPAs are no measure of the “best and brightest.”
I’m guessing all those admitted without test scores being necessary had humongous drop-out rates.
Winning a few battles in the war on merit and competence.
Too late. Bankrupt them. They’ll probably start letting the dumbed down kids do the SAT by mail, or e-mail. Then the kids can report an xlnt score.
“emphasizing that test scores are interpreted in the context of a student’s background and educational opportunities”
So racial bias wins out anyway, in two ways: 1) minorities get graded on a curve, because 2) the libs assume minorities aren’t capable of getting in without liberal help.
I want to know what advantage will be given to minority students who blow the doors off the test. Seems only fair, doesn’t it? Anyone? Buehler?
Garbage in, garbage out eureka. They probably have figured out after 3-4 years of going full DEI admissions without objective standardized academic testing admits a lot of garbage into their programs, forcing them to lower grading standards to get the garbage out.
Top officers at UT/Austin (all marxists), my alma mater, didn’t go back to SAT/ACT with a smiley face. I guarantee, it took lots of ass kicking and yelling and screaming between the governors office, the AG, legislators, regents, x students, mega donors and upper management at UT. I’m surprised somebody didn’t get shot or thrown out an upstairs window.
