SATs and the illusion of fairness

Description

We speak with Harry Feder of FairTest, an organization that advocates for fair and open testing, about the reinstitution of standardized test requirements at some "Ivy Plus” colleges, and why it matters. We discuss how testing choices affect inclusion and exclusion in admissions and what most non-"Ivy Plus" schools do. In a follow-up interview with Harry Feder, we will discuss standardized tests in K-12 schools.

The post SATs and the illusion of fairness first appeared on Ethical Schools.
