Several elite universities, including Yale and Dartmouth, have reintroduced standardized testing such as the SAT and ACT as part of their admissions requirements, four years after many institutions had dropped them. This shift is seen as a move towards reinstating a neutral benchmark to assess applicants' academic abilities amidst concerns over grade inflation across high schools. Critics argue that this decision may perpetuate racial biases inherent in standardized testing, thereby protecting white privilege under the guise of meritocratic standards.
Yale brings back SAT, ACT as admissions requirements https://t.co/qj52C832Vg A modest move in a rational direction for the Ivy League. Other schools will follow; you need a neutral benchmark to understand how inflated gradepoints are at various high schools.
Well, look no further for why Academia and the subsequent students it pumps out are less intelligent. A "Professor" that doesn't know WWII. https://t.co/riK0ywKImp
Bonus from the entry on merit in light of the recent news that Dartmouth and Yale are requiring standardized tests in admissions: “Merit protects White privilege under the guise of standards (i.e., the use of standardized tests that are biased against racial minorities).” https://t.co/MdGuO9uLd6 https://t.co/R1HPlhQTxa
Four years after most elite universities dropped test score requirements for admission, some are bringing them back. https://t.co/NpXsZvEIMy
Reality creeps back in, resisted, of course, by the presumptuous and incompetent woke scavengers and parasites. Intelligence is a necessary prerequisite for higher education. Who knew? @Yale https://t.co/Vk6EZn25pn
