In a move putting California's public colleges at the forefront of the trend to drop standardized tests, the Cal State university system will eliminate SAT and ACT tests from its admission requirements.
FILE - Students walk past the Harriet and Charles Luckman Fine Arts Complex at the Cal State University, Los Angeles campus on April 25, 2019. California State University, the country's largest four-year university system, will eliminate SAT and ACT standardized tests from its admission requirements in a move that places California's public universities at the forefront of a national trend to drop the exams.
The California State University system has 477,000 students at its 23 colleges around the state, while the University of California’s 10 colleges enroll over 280,000 students. “In essence, we are eliminating our reliance on a high-stress, high-stakes test that has shown negligible benefit,” Relya said in a statement.
"It is not an accident that so many other public systems, literally from Washington state to Maine, now have similar policies. The whole country is watching California, and largely following the state’s lead,” he said. Board Trustee Diego Arambula said it was important to drop the requirement because"reducing the stress and inequity that currently exists today are huge.”
