美西当地时间5月15日,据ABC新闻报道,加州大学(University of California)已同意在招生和奖学金中取消SAT和ACT分数,这标志着该校明显改变了保持数十年来的传统。



正如《纪事报》(Chronicle)最先报道的那样,加州大学校方于5月14日周五宣布与学生达成法律和解。

去年年初,加州大学校董会就开始考虑这一举措。2019年11月,加州大学伯克利分校的校长甚至公开反对考试要求,称考试“确实造成了体制的不平等”。

SAT,也称“美国高考” ,是由美国大学理事会(College Board)主办的一项标准化的、以笔试形式进行的高中毕业生学术能力水平考试。

ACT,全称“American College Test”,中文名称为“美国大学入学考试”。它是美国大学本科的入学条件之一,也是奖学金发放的重要依据之一。

活动人士长期以来一直认为,标准化考试让少数族裔和低收入家庭的学生处于不利地位。批评人士说,考试问题往往包含固有的偏见,那些更有特权的孩子更有能力回答这些问题。他们还说,较富裕的学生通常会选择帮助提高成绩的昂贵预科课程,而这是许多学生负担不起的。

2020年5月,加州大学校董会投票决定取消入学新生的SAT和ACT考试要求。批评人士认为,低收入的有色人种学生和残疾学生由于没有精英导师或战略性的考试准备服务而处于不利地位。

总部位于马萨诸塞州的非营利组织“公平考试”(FairTest)一贯反对标准化考试。该组织上月宣布,1,400多所认可的授予学士学位的大学和学院将不再要求申请2022年秋季入学的学生提交考试成绩,这约占美国本科院校的60%以上。

加州大学希望在2025年秋季为新生提供另一种考试。
