Harvard University plans to reinstate the SAT or ACT as requirements for admission, following some of its Ivy League peers in returning to standardized test scores after a pause that was prompted by the pandemic.

The new policy will apply to students seeking admission in fall 2025, Harvard said in a statement Thursday, backtracking from an earlier decision to make testing optional for several more years.

Harvard’s change underscores a broader rethinking about standardized tests at elite schools, which are evaluating the best ways to recruit students from all backgrounds after the Supreme Court ruling last June that they can’t consider race in admissions. Dartmouth, Yale and Brown all said recently that they would bring back testing, saying it can give admissions officers greater context about whether less-privileged applicants are likely to succeed at the schools.

Good LORD‼️ WHY would the TOP university in America have EVER disposed of meritorious educational achievement and knowledge as the first hurdle to be considered for admissions selections requirement?
It would be like hiring a barista to be a surgeon, because they’re black or brown .
I think the answer is …LOTS AND LOTS OF student loans money 💰 to people who have absolutely NO HOPE of achieving a degree and skills to get a good job, paying the universities so they can fail and work as a barista….to pay off their student loans debts…or declare bankruptcy; either way, the universities ALWAYS get THEIR money…and the faculty get their raises…and DEI hiring policies ensure that everyone loses.
