UC Delays Test Decision Amid Faculty Crisis | Oakland News

Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

The UC Regents have postponed their decision on bringing back standardized tests, keeping the test-free admissions policy alive for at least another year. Faculty members are sounding the alarm, citing a growing crisis in student preparedness—with many struggling with basic math and writing, even relying on AI to form sentences. Critics argue that reinstating tests could widen inequality, especially for low-income and underrepresented students, while supporters counter that free prep resources like Khan Academy level the playing field. With no clear timeline for a final decision, the future of standardized testing in UC admissions remains in limbo.
