[quote=Anonymous]With what happened at UC San Diego:

“The question is, are the UCs interested in and willing to go back to having a standardized test?” Polikoff said. “I’m guessing the answer to that question is no, but if that’s the case, then I think this is a foreseeable consequence of that, right?”

Morgan Scott Polikoff, professor of education at USC Rossier, addressed whether or not he thinks that the UCs will make any changes. Professor Polikoff actually is an expert in the use of standards based teaching and is a major proponent of equity in math.  Even he recognizes the validity of SAT's but thinks UCSD won't use SAT's.  In the future, there are going to be a lot fewer UCSD's which reject the validity of the SAT and an increasing reliance on it.

I can't imagine that the admissions committees even at the elites aren't aware of and react to the UCSD saga.
