Admissions tests are the best tool to fight racism, specifically institutionalized racism, that we have in our tool kit. When racism increases in the future the tests will be ushered back in with great urgency, but because institutionalized racism takes decades to slowly grind away at, I think we’ll be doomed to such cycles.
