Yow, the real core of the article is about the SAT/ACT.
I'm glad that they're ditching them, because of how much I hate the College Board, and those exams.
But as a matter of principle, college admissions must be on merit. It's easy to say it shouldn't be based on family ties... But what will replace exam scores?
I don't like this discussion on "equity", because it seems that the inevitable conclusion is that race will become a metric in deciding college admission.
- TheAdamAndChe 5y agoRace is already a metric in deciding college admission. Asian Americans need significantly higher GPAs to get into pretty much any competitive program.

This is exactly what some people want. Instead of a meritocracy and an individualist society where we judge each person by their individual merits, we're trending toward a society where we only see and treat a person by the categories they fall into.
