‘Admitting students into STEM programs without verified math readiness does not advance equity,’ resolution statesA faculty-led petition urging the University of California System to reinstate standardized testing in admissions just gained another supporter: the San Dieguito Union High School District. On Thursday, the northern San Diego school board passed a resolution that calls on the public university system to reinstate “standardized testing as a requirement for STEM majors in the admissions process,” The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. They shared how the 2020 decision to end the standardized testing requirement has led to a growing number of unprepared students in the classroom. Social science and humanities scholars also voiced their support for the return of standardized testing in a June letter, The College Fix reported. Most Ivy League universities also have reinstated their standardized testing requirements over the past two years.
