NEW: The California State University system will abandon the use of SAT and ACT tests in its admission process, permanently adopting a policy today that was implemented on a temporary basis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously Wednesday to scrap the use of the standardized tests in admissions decisions, following the lead of the University of California, which abandoned the tests in 2020.
A Board of Trustees committee on Tuesday approved the idea, advancing it to the full board Wednesday. "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," he added.
