[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The University of California schools should be a hard lesson to any university who decries the SAT.

What's remarkable about this is the UC's have decades of student performance from every California high school.  They know the performance of each high school.  In spite of this, they still couldn't do their job right and admit qualified students.

Why ban the SAT? Truly maddening.[/quote]

Legal protection. The Asian students are always suing. UC has achieved now under representing top white students but struggles with having to over represent top Asian students.

UC tried a ballot measure reinstating affirmative action prior to the Supreme Court ruling, and lost by a landslide. The Latino voters..the biggest bucket now for unqualified admits…overwhelmingly voted against it. UC still wants them. There is no way for the top UCs to achieve 30% Latino, 30% low income and accept either the SAT or CA state tests. The score gap between Latino accepted and Asian or white rejected is upside down and a severe gap. [/quote]
