Interesting legal history.
An upcoming lawsuit is challenging the University of California system’s use of the SAT or ACT on the basis that these tests are deeply biased and provide no meaningful information about a student’s ability to succeed. @anemonanyc. This lawsuit is decades in the making. A thread.
