NYT reports the university system has reached a settlement with students to scrap even optional testing from admissions and scholarship decisions. The change comes as part of a settlement brought on by a group of high school students and nonprofit groups who claimed the standardized tests put minority and low-income students at a disadvantage.
Some 225,000 undergraduate students attend University of California schools. The settlement makes the system the largest and best-known American institution of higher education to distance itself from using the two major standardized tests.
Look for less acceptance based on standardization.
The University of California will no longer consider SAT and ACT scores
