The cancellation of the SAT 4 years ago was never about covid. It was
about the proven fact that black students do terrible on standardized
tests ( since they are horrible readers) and graduate from HS due to affirmative action grading. Letting them attend an Ivy means certain
failure.

feb 7 2024 When Dartmouth suspended its standardized testing
requirement for undergraduate applicants in June 2020, it was a
pragmatic pause taken by most colleges and universities in response to
an unprecedented global pandemic. At the time, we imagined the
resulting "test-optional" policy as a short-term practice rather than
an informed commentary on the role of testing in our holistic
evaluation process.
Nearly four years later, having studied the role of testing in our
admissions process as well as its value as a predictor of student
success at Dartmouth, we are removing the extended pause and
reactivating the standardized testing requirement for undergraduate admission, effective with the Class of 2029.
An academic study released last summer by the group Opportunity
Insights, covering the so-called Ivy Plus colleges (the eight in the
Ivy League, along with Duke, M.I.T., Stanford and the University of
Chicago), showed little relationship between high school grade point
average and success in college. The researchers found a strong
relationship between test scores and later success.
Likewise, a faculty committee at the University of California system
— led by Dr. Henry Sánchez, a pathologist, and Eddie Comeaux, a
professor of education — concluded in 2020 that test scores were
better than high school grades at predicting student success in the system’s nine colleges, where more than 230,000 undergraduates are enrolled.
Racist Democrats are shitting their pants because their efforts to
marginalize whites are failing.
