Columbia University to No Longer Require SAT/ACT for Undergrad Admissions

I do not know why the institution are changing what they look at for admissions. I do know that standardized tests are not a good predictor of success in college. I doubt it has to do with race.

This is just piling on at this point but nonetheless. I saw you mention in some other post that Biden was pursuing an anti-racist agenda. This thread has nothing to do with Biden but if you want to talk anti-racism that's the argument for removing these tests. So the idea that this has nothing to with race is laughable.

The kids should be tested before they WASTE their money and go in debt.

This is similar to white libs giving 200 SAT points to Black students. It only ensures the students will be at the very very bottom of their class, and more likely to fail and dropout.

It has everything to do with race, still I doubt with the advances in AI whether this will be much of an issue in the next decade. Of course the cry will then go up that the AI systems are racist as well.

You're correct! It's a pompous, elitist, university filled with Progressives and radical Leftists that couldn't figure out a percentage on a calculator without a 'percent' key. These are self-righteous, self-important nobodies with degrees in useless shit like Womyn's Studies or Art History. Many go on to engage in that lowest and least respected 'profession,' if you can call legalized crime a profession, of being a liar... err, lawyer.

Brilliant and best doesn't describe them.

WAAAAAHHHHH - everyone who disagrees with me is a WAYCISS.

The racists here are all these liberals who support affirmative action !!!! They want whites denied jobs just for being white. You can't get more racist than that.

False, and you don’t acknowledge the racist problem the Republican Party has… look at Charlottesville, lots of the racists were Trumppers.

You don’t see the Proud Boys supporting Biden.

Conservatives were NOT to blame for charlottesville. The press lied again just like they did with george floyd and every race issue.

What does this have to do with Columbia not requiring the SAT?

Standardized tests are better than grades since so many schools practice grade inflation and affirmative action grading to help our dusky friends.
