Massive CA Settlement KOs SAT and ACT Tests - Passing Period #37

This Week: The pandemic hit the SAT and ACT with a hook to the temple, and now with a massive legal settlement in a case brought by California students, community groups and Compton Unified School District, the nation’s unofficial college entrance standardized tests are on the ropes. But does this mean they’re down for the count?  The settlement commits the University of California system - home to 6 of the nation’s top 11 public universities - to not using SAT or ACT in admissions or scholarship decisions until at least the spring of 2025.  What will the ripple effect be across higher ed? What, if anything, will replace SAT and ACT as admission criteria to these highly selective institutions? Is this the start of a new, more racially and economically just era of college admissions? Also, there’s new #AOTAshow merch available on our website!  Get your hoodies, Ts, and more.  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 Enjoyed today's episode?
