— Whither Meritocracy? University of California Scraps the SAT – Lindsey Burke
https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/05/18/whither-meritocracy-university-of-california-scraps-the-sat/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The settlement announced Friday was the resolution of the 2019 lawsuit, which claimed the tests were biased against minority and low-income students. For all of the shortcomings of standardized tests—and the particular problems with the College Board, which owns the SAT—these college entrance exams attempt to approximate an objective assessment of a student’s capacity to do college-level work. Getting a good score reflects hard work and often is rewarded with admission to a chosen college.)
