Is it anti-Asian bias to be concerned about Chinese infiltration?
So now classes will be filled with underachieving and undeserving youth who grew up in families that eschewed homework and study?
This is gonna put many test preparation services and tutors out of business.
First offered in 1926 by the College Board, the SAT has faced controversy throughout nearly a century of testing.
So it lasted close to a century!
Is there anything stopping a prospective employer from requiring their job applicants to take the SAT as part of the job application process?
As Jordan Peterson and others have pointed out, in the past if one hired someone from a prestigious university, you could be pretty sure that they had been pre-screened for well-above-average intelligence in the admissions process - an Ivy League degree didn’t provide absolute certainty in that regard, but it was a pretty good starting point.
But if academia is going to abandon those standardized tests, then the prestige of those formerly top-notch schools is going to come into question, at least as regards the likely level of intelligence of their graduates. The way things go at most of those universities, once you’re admitted you almost have to make a deliberate effort to flunk out, especially if you gravitate to particular majors and you fit specific demographic criteria.
Merit (the basis of America’s success) is being replaced in our school systems with equity, which is a Marxist ideology:
“ As an objective measure of preparedness with hard numbers attached”
That’s the key.
its in the way of communi.........er i mean equity
MIT was no longer test optional this year. Purdue wants tests for next year. TN, GA, and FL still require them for state schools. Some colleges are test optional for admission but want test scores for scholarships.
The College Board has to much invested in this area to let this stand. Those prep courses and books aint gonna buy themselves.
College Board needs to admit that it’s sole utility is to sort out high-performing whites and Asians. It’d free the test to be what it was originally intended to be, an IQ and core knowledge test.
Right now the test is half that (hard questions) and half giveaways (easy questions) for lower level students.
How convenient to pass the buck onto Asian Americans being to bright.
More than likely, the real reason is to keep funneling in ill prepared, less qualified other racial groups who don’t score very well at all.
Academia is one of the big enemies of this country.

Far too many institutions care more about increasing the size of faculty and administration with the corresponding padding of their compensation. Real education is just an afterthought in too many curriculums.
The “good” news is the Diversity Equity, and Inclusion Departments will expand exponentially and the STEM Departments will be able to stop hiring so the colleges won’t lose money.
