chances are excellent the decision to abandon standardized testing came directly from the colleges bean counters instead of its laureates.
running a college is very lucrative, with most institutions being nothing more than taxpayer subsidized sports team franchises. Yale isnt one of these, so its only alternative to boost revenue is to relax admissions criteria.
chances are also great that cloistered elites found this idea so dyspeptic as to demand the bar be raised oncemore. Yale is also a critical litmus for the social signaling of americas capital class.

Yale is the epicenter of the woke mind virus attempting to destroy civilization. Paul Graham's response to this was: Bizarre as that last sentence sounds, I have to say that when I asked someone with a lot of experience in freedom of speech issues which universities to avoid, Yale was the first he mentioned. When my son was applying to colleges, Yale and Stanford were at the top of his list of schools not to consider because he didn't like DEI. Maybe someone is finally waking up to the fact that this is becoming a long-term reputation problem for the university?
