Very unlikely. The SAT minimums for unwanted minorities (south Asian and east Asian) are already tweaked to be far higher than for whites (the ones that don’t come through legacy and celebrity/donor/dean’s special paths, that is), let alone for people claiming black/Latino/native ancestry, in order to be able to admit fewer Asians.
The reason this school and others want to get rid of the SAT is that it is a quantifiable measure that can be brought up in court (and has been brought up in court) measuring exactly how much they discriminate against certain minorities. If they wanted to stop discriminating right now, nothing stops them from doing so. (Like Caltech is doing, for instance.)
