INSIDE HIGHER ED — The California State University Board of Trustees voted unanimouslyWednesday to no longer use standardized SAT and ACT tests in undergraduate admissions. That means that even if an applicant submits scores for admission to one of the system’s 23 campuses, Cal State admissions counselors won’t look at them. The system’s campuses enroll a total of 477,000 students. “This decision aligns with the California State University’s continued efforts to level the playing field and provide greater access to a high-quality college degree for students from all backgrounds,” said acting chancellor Steve Relyea. “In essence, we are eliminating our reliance on a high-stress, high-stakes test that has shown negligible benefit and providing our applicants with greater opportunities to demonstrate their drive, talents and potential for college success.” The move had the endorsement of the Cal State Students Association and the Academic Senate of the California State University.
