Summary
The UC system is weighing a major reversal: bringing back the SAT and ACT after dropping them in 2021. Over 3,000 faculty members are urging reinstatement, arguing that standardized tests still reflect real inequities—even with free prep resources like Khan Academy. Critics say test-optional admissions have led to admitting students unprepared for college rigor, across nearly 250 departments. Student leaders warn this debate distracts from the real goal: ensuring all students have equal access to success. The Regents chair wants a faculty recommendation by June next year, setting the stage for a deeply divided but crucial decision.
