The article makes no mention of the lawsuit that was brought against the UC system. They ended up settling, with the UC system agreeing to stop using the SAT for the next 5 years. I think the lawsuit had a lot more influence on the decision than most people think.

- ejstronge 5y ago> The article makes no mention of the lawsuit that was brought against the UC system. The article very clearly references the lawsuit: "Do the tests prevent low-income Black and Latino students from getting college degrees? This is the charge of a lawsuit filed in 2019 and settled by the university in May"

- crackercrews 5y agoThe lawsuit appears to be limited to pandemic conditions. The judge said it's not fair to some students who don't have good enough access during the pandemic. He doesn't say anything about using the SAT after the pandemic. So this policy is much broader than what was required.
