Interesting…
One of the signatories to the new letter below calling for UC to return to using standardized tests in admissions is Professor Li Cai.
He is a statistician working on psychometrics who directs UCLA’s National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing.
He was also on the 2020 Standardized Testing Task Force that recommended AGAINST going test-optional at that time.
BUT he was one of six task force members to sign this dissenting statement calling for the university to stop using SAT/ACT scores for the sake of DEI.
Now he has signed the letter below calling for an end to this “failed experiment.”
