Eliminating the LSAT to address inequity is like destroying a thermometer to address a fever.
Getting rid of the LSAT is incredibly regressive. The main beneficiaries will be academically weaker wealthy students who can afford to pad their resumes, go to private schools with more grade inflation, and pay for admissions coaches.
