How Students and Schools Can Recover From Coronavirus, with Elaine Allensworth

Elissa Nadworny

For over half a century, the SAT has been used by colleges and universities in admissions decisions. A  lawsuit filed in December 2019 against the University of California system challenges this long held practice, calling the use of SAT scores in admission decisions illegal, discriminatory, and unconstitutional. On today’s show, we are joined by Elissa Nadworny, reporter and editor for NPR’s Education team who has been  following the lawsuit. We are also joined by  Dr. Elaine Allensworth from the UChicago Consortium on School Research, who recently wrote a paper showing a student’s grades are four times more predictive of college success than standardized exam scores.
