Colleges bring back ACT/SAT after finding test-optional policies hurt minorities

US colleges bring back standardized testing after finding test-optional policies hurt minority students

https://www.foxnews.com/media/us-college...y-students

Quote from the article saying it's racist to say blacks can't do well on ACT/SAT:

He also blamed the elimination of standardized testing on a narrative circulating in academia that some minority students do not do as well as White and Asian students because of poor schooling or cultural bias in the test.

"Frankly, I found this narrative racist and offensive on its face," Schein said. "That is because it could be interpreted as ‘certain minorities were too stupid to do well on these demanding standardized tests.’ I have always rejected this narrative. Further, schools should still have the data but can make decisions based on the many factors considered in admissions, not just the SAT."

It is racist to say black students cant do as well other students simply because of their race.
