The Sacramento Bee covers the University of California Regents’ meeting and surrounding developments on the system’s plan to revisit its standardized testing requirement for admissions.
The article mentions comments made by Just Equations Executive Director Pamela Burdman at the July 14 meeting, underscoring that using standardized tests as a screening tool for admissions runs counter to the university’s stated mission.
“Core to the university’s mission is serving the broad diversity of California’s population. Returning to the use of a tool that disadvantages students by their backgrounds runs counter to that mission,” Burdman said.
