From the article: "When the coronavirus pandemic scrambled testing, Yale and many other colleges dropped requirements that applicants submit standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT."
Why is everyone looking for a convoluted theory when there's a very obvious explanation?

- bombcar 3y agoRemote computer proctoring is a solved problem, way before Covid, so the pandemic may be part of the reason, but it's unlikely to be the whole reason. Universities bandwagon just as much as anyone else does, and the reasons they give afterwards may not be the reasons they went into it.
- lapcat 3y agoThat's like saying remote instruction was a solved problem before Covid. The problem with the pandemic was that almost every student in the country was suddenly thrown into a remote situation, and nobody was prepared for that. It's the same with remote work. It may have been a "solved problem" before the pandemic (and I personally WFH before the pandemic), but nobody was prepared for a huge portion of the country's workforce to be suddenly thrown into remote work.
