Do you think the UC system should get rid of the SAT or ACT requirement for applicants? It may be violating civil rights of disadvantaged students by requiring one of them, two lawsuits say. Join our discussion in the comments of TeresaWatanabe's story:
if UC did not immediately end the testing requirement. The university declined to comment at that time.
“The ACT test is not discriminatory nor biased,” ACT spokesman Ed Colby told the L.A. Times in October. “Blaming standardized tests for differences in educational quality and opportunities that exist will not improve educational outcomes.
The suits also detail the history of UC and the SAT, citing documents that show university officials have questioned the use and fairness of the tests for decades but have chosen to use them anyway. Two better alternatives to the SAT, the lawsuits assert, are Smarter Balanced, a standardized test given to all California 11th graders that tests mastery of the state’s Common Core high school curriculum; and the University of Texas system, which guarantees admission to campuses based solely on high school grades.
