Stanford University has decided to reinstate standardized tests for admissions, following similar moves by Harvard and Yale. This decision, reported by Bloomberg on June 8, 2024, comes as colleges struggle to screen out unqualified applicants. The reinstatement of these tests has been a point of contention, with some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) proponents labeling the tests as racist. The move marks a shift back to traditional admissions criteria after a period where many top universities had removed these requirements.
Stanford decides to reinstate *checks notes* basic testing standards for admissions. Obviously a dumb idea to remove them, the real question here is why would this university do such a thing in the first place? https://t.co/EZZY5Xaw4A
Now that many of the top American universities have gone back to requiring standardized tests, which still don't? That might be a useful index of where the rot is deepest.
EQUITY: Struggling to screen out unqualified applicants, colleges like Stanford and Harvard are now requiring applicants take standardized tests that DEI proponents call racist. https://t.co/mgEUdjobXn
