SocietyUniversity of California Faculty Push to Bring Back SAT and ACT Score Consideration

They say SAT and ACT results could help identify applicants ready for college-level work. The push comes as concerns increase over grade inflation and the use of artificial intelligence. The university has begun a faculty-led review, while opponents say standardized testing can reinforce socioeconomic disparities.
