[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But who says what a commission does is always in the public interest.  For example, University of California made the equitable decision to start removing SAT scores from admissions.  However, they overruled their own task force that thought it would be more equitable to keep the scores.  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/05/21/us/university-california-sat-act.amp.html[/quote]

From reading the article, it sounds to me like the commission made the right call.  Academia can be very set in its ways.  It does not surprise me that the faculty task force would want to maintain the status quo.

In any case, I'm not sure what this has to do with the OP's question.  The idea that politically-driven decisions are always or even often in the public interest is laughable, so what's your point?[/quote]

Maybe point was even independent comissions might be overruled.  The faculty seemed to think the tests allowed the school to see students who didn't meet the gpa minimums.  That mattered because they said test scores better predict success than did gpa.
