Double Dose of Dartmouth - Unionized Athletes and Bringing Back the SAT - Passing Period #118

from All of the Above Podcast · host All of the Above

This Week: Jeff’s alma mater, the Big Green, hit the headlines twice this week with big news about the NLRB recognizing their men’s basketball team as employees -- the first ruling of its kind that may pave the way for seismic change in college athletes nationally. Dartmouth emailed its alumni this week to notify them that they’re tossing aside the pandemic test-optional policy and returning to requiring the SAT/ACT for admission citing that bringing back the testing requirement will help the college identify high qualified candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. The social justice spidey senses were tingling, but is this highly elite institution actually on to something in their context? Manuel and Jeff discuss.  Get your All of the Above swag, including your own “Teach the Truth” shirt! In this moment of relentless attacks on teaching truth in the classroom, we got you covered. https://all-of-the-above-store.creator-spring.com  Passing Period is an AOTA podcast extra that gives us a chance to check-in, reflect, and discuss powerful stories in between our full episodes.  Watch, listen and subscribe to make sure you don't miss our latest content!
