The UC admissions board voted to retract its current plans to reconsider standardized test requirements in admissions, according to the Los Angeles Times. The UC Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools originally planned to create working groups to study standardized testing and high school admission requirements. “The Academic Senate is not rescinding its commitment to a comprehensive review of standardized testing in admissions,” said Ahmet Palazoglu, the UC Academic Senate chair. “Recognizing the significance of this issue, the Academic Senate is revising its timeline while ensuring the forthcoming review is thorough, evidence-based and informed by faculty expertise.” The working groups were initially slated to deliver recommendations to the board on whether standardized scores should once again be mandated in freshman admissions for the fall 2028 admissions cycle. ✍️: Cam Lippincott 📸: Rahimeen Shah . . #ucberkeley #dailycal #SAT #UC #ACT
