Harvard Will Bring Back Standardized Testing
Does anyone know if there has been an expansion of remedial education at the Ivies?
My guess is it would be hard for them to respond that quickly in a formalized way. It's more likely they're seeing too many students struggle and finding it hard to help them, so that's one of the reasons they're going back to testing.
Most places already have various programs in place: year-long reading/writing courses for freshmen, summer programs for onboarding certain groups of students, easier intro courses in STEM, tutoring services, cohort models, etc., etc.
A recent op-ed in the Daily Princetonian listed some of these (and still wanted more to be done for equity).
Here are the top political news stories for today.
Do equity backers think that the requirements in college amount to white supremacy or that the requirements aren't necessary? Why would they want the standards lowered?
