But I am also worried that in removing it, there’s going to be this assumption that now our system is equitable and outcomes will look better. That isn’t going to happen naturally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other ways the UC can make admissions more equitable include working more closely with K-12 schools to better understand their applicants and possibly even guaranteeing admission to more students who meet certain criteria, Kurlaender and other admissions experts say. UC campus officials also say they could use more funding to expand student capacity and hire more staff to help with reviewing the growing number of applications that have been submitted since the tests were dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Admissions decisions are made by UC’s campuses, but system leaders also have acknowledged the need to make UC more accessible. Board of Regents Chair Cecilia Estolano said at last month’s regents meeting that when UC reviews student applications, they are dealing with “generations of educational inequity and baked-in discrimination,” adding that the university system must “continuously evaluate the effectiveness” of how admissions decisions are made.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Michal Kurlaender, professor of education policy at UC Davis\"]'I hope we didn’t give so much weight to the impact of removing the tests, such that everybody’s expecting the demographics of who's coming will now look dramatically different.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the state’s other public university system, California State University, the use of the SAT and ACT in admissions is currently suspended for fall 2022 decisions.

To be eligible for UC admission, students must take \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/glossary/a-g-courses\">a set of classes known as A-G courses\u003c/a>, which include math, science, history, English, art, foreign language and electives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taking advanced versions of those classes, such as honors or Advanced Placement courses, can give students a leg up when applying. But the students who would be at a disadvantage with a testing requirement also often have unequal chances to take those classes. Black and Latino students and students from lower-income families are less likely to have access to and enroll in advanced courses in high school than their white and Asian peers and those from higher-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kurlaender said there needs to be an investment in K-12 schools to ensure that there is equity across the state in the types of courses available to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more than just making sure that the A-G courses are available,” Kurlaender said. “It’s the richness of those courses, the weighted courses, the kind of courses it takes to be competitive at UC.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Penman, executive director of undergraduate admissions at UC Davis, started in his role in August and is now entering his first admissions cycle. He said his office has made it a top priority to meet with high school counselors across the state and understand the specific circumstances at different schools.[aside postID=\"news_11897034,news_11898137,news_11897105\" label=\"Related Posts\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, this year, some schools have had substitute teachers for two consecutive semesters in certain classes, Penman said. That’s something he said is worth considering in admissions because it “can make a big difference in a student’s learning experience,” as students \u003ca href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/product/sharp-divide-california-teacher-shortages-report\">generally have better educational outcomes when they have stable and qualified teachers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can be especially difficult for admission officials to fully understand the local context of schools that are located far away from their given campus. At UC Irvine in Orange County, admissions staff often have little information about schools in areas like the Central Valley and the northernmost parts of the state near the Oregon border, said Dale Leaman, executive director of undergraduate admissions at the campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaman said he “would love to have more resources” so his staff can visit those schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we have a responsibility to the entire state. We have a responsibility to the students in Eureka and the students in Redding and the students in Chico,” Leaman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reading applications\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This year, UC \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/why-the-university-of-california-is-seeing-a-massive-surge-in-freshman-applications/648309\">saw a major spike in the number of applications it received for freshman admission\u003c/a>. Across the nine campuses, about 32,000 more students applied for freshman admission in fall 2021 compared to fall 2020, an 18% jump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big increase has overwhelmed some campuses because they haven’t been able to hire more application readers to review and score applications. That can be a detriment to students because it means, on average, their applications are getting less attention than they did when the campuses received fewer applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The increase in applications requires a lot more time. Our staff, they are stretched so thin,” said Michelle Whittingham, the associate vice chancellor of enrollment management at UC Santa Cruz. That campus received 61,708 applications for freshman admission in fall 2021, up from 55,003 the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whittingham said the campus typically employs about 50 readers. Increasing that by anywhere from 25% to 50% would be a big help, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campuses across UC could also be more efficient with how they review applications, said Jesse Rothstein, a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley and an expert in college admissions. For example, Rothstein said he’s suggested that Berkeley admissions staff give more thorough reviews to applicants who have a realistic chance of being admitted and spend less time with applications that aren’t competitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC \u003ca href=\"https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/applying-as-a-freshman/how-applications-are-reviewed.html\">considers 13 factors when reviewing applications\u003c/a>, ranging from grade point average to extracurriculars to any special circumstances a student faces — such as a disability, low family income or a student being the first in their family to attend college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have to read a lot of applications quickly,” Rothstein said. “They’re somewhat underfunded and under pressure. And that means that they don’t give each application the time it deserves. And I think there’s a lot that the universities can do in the details to make sure that applications do get the care they deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Guaranteeing admission\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In-state students who graduate in the top 9% of their high school class are offered guaranteed admission to UC. But those students aren’t guaranteed that they will be admitted to the campus of their choice, just that they’ll be accepted to at least one of the campuses, even if it’s one they didn’t apply to.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Audrey Dow, senior vice president of The Campaign for College Opportunity\"]'I think if we guaranteed students admission to their local UC, provided they meet the admission criteria, we would see a very different demographic makeup.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC could improve the current guarantee program by creating a local guarantee, where students would be promised admission to the campus closest to their high school if they meet certain criteria, said Audrey Dow, senior vice president of the Campaign for College Opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black and Latino students attend the state’s CSU campuses and community colleges at higher rates than they do UC campuses, and those who do attend UC have a higher chance of graduating, Dow noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dow said a local guarantee could go a long way in making Black and Latino students better represented at UC’s most competitive campuses. Latino students, for example, make up 25% of the undergraduate student population at UCLA but 65% of the K-12 population in Los Angeles County public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if we guaranteed students admission to their local UC, provided they meet the admission criteria, we would see a very different demographic makeup. And one that is much more closely aligned with our California communities,” Dow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea, however, has lukewarm support at best from UC admissions officials. Leaman, the UC Irvine undergraduate admissions executive director, noted that the system already has a capacity issue. Most campuses receive more qualified applicants than can be admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a finite number of spots. Any time you make a guarantee to one population, you’re reducing the opportunities for another population,” Leaman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaman pointed out that Irvine does \u003ca href=\"https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/tag-matrix.pdf\">guarantee admission to community college transfers meeting specific criteria\u003c/a>. Irvine is one of six campuses with a transfer guarantee, along with Davis, Merced, Riverside, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898632\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11898632\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"A broken yellow pencil on top of a standardized test.\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Standardized test with a broken yellow pencil, on March 24, 2015. \u003ccite>(Michael Quirk/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Increasing capacity\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One straightforward way to give more students a real shot at being admitted to UC is to increase the number of spots at each campus. Each year, UC turns away tens of thousands of applicants, including many who are eligible. This year, the system made freshman admission offers to more than 132,000 students but rejected 35% of applicants, or about 71,000 of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have enough seats for all eligible students, and it doesn’t match the demand for a higher education. Families and students want to make more than a living wage. And they know that college is their way to get there,” Dow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But campuses can’t add more seats without also having additional funding to support those increases. “We need to make sure that we have the infrastructure in place to be able to accept additional students,” said Debi Kammerer, interim director of admissions at UC San Diego. That includes having enough faculty, classroom space and housing to accommodate those students. Housing is already a problem at UC, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/thousands-of-uc-students-struggle-to-find-housing/661082\">with many of the campuses having dealt with housing shortages this fall\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system could soon be getting help from the state Legislature. Lawmakers have said they plan to allocate an additional $67.8 million to UC campuses in 2022-23 to increase the number of spots for California residents by 6,230 students. Whether they’ll follow through on that promise won’t be clear for months, since the final budget isn’t agreed to until the summer. It’s also not clear where Gov. Gavin Newsom, who negotiates the budget with lawmakers, stands on the issue. Eleni Kounalakis, the state’s lieutenant governor, serves on UC’s Board of Regents as a voting member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/with-standardized-testing-out-whats-next-for-university-of-california-admissions/664408\">This story originally appeared in EdSource.\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"With the University of California's decision to abandon standardized exams, experts are looking for more innovative ways to better understand their applicants and make UC more accessible to a diverse array of students.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1639099889,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":37,"wordCount":1978},"headData":{"title":"With Standardized Testing Out, UC Explores Next Steps in Making Admissions More Equitable | KQED","description":"With the University of California's decision to abandon standardized exams, experts are looking for more innovative ways to better understand their applicants and make UC more accessible to a diverse array of students.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"11898618 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11898618","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2021/12/09/with-standardized-testing-out-uc-explores-next-steps-in-making-admissions-more-equitable/","disqusTitle":"With Standardized Testing Out, UC Explores Next Steps in Making Admissions More Equitable","source":"EdSource","sourceUrl":"https://edsource.org","nprByline":"\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/author/mburke\">Michael Burke\u003c/a>","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","showOnAuthorArchivePages":"No","path":"/news/11898618/with-standardized-testing-out-uc-explores-next-steps-in-making-admissions-more-equitable","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>The University of California’s historic move to abandon standardized exams may not be the last of changes coming to the admissions process for the public university system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the expectation of college access advocates and admissions experts who say ditching the SAT and ACT should be only the first step in making admissions more equitable across UC, which has nine undergraduate campuses.

Black and Latino students and students from lower-income families are less likely to have access to and enroll in advanced courses in high school than their white and Asian peers and those from higher-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kurlaender said there needs to be an investment in K-12 schools to ensure that there is equity across the state in the types of courses available to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s more than just making sure that the A-G courses are available,” Kurlaender said. “It’s the richness of those courses, the weighted courses, the kind of courses it takes to be competitive at UC.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Penman, executive director of undergraduate admissions at UC Davis, started in his role in August and is now entering his first admissions cycle. He said his office has made it a top priority to meet with high school counselors across the state and understand the specific circumstances at different schools.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11897034,news_11898137,news_11897105","label":"Related Posts "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, this year, some schools have had substitute teachers for two consecutive semesters in certain classes, Penman said. That’s something he said is worth considering in admissions because it “can make a big difference in a student’s learning experience,” as students \u003ca href=\"https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/product/sharp-divide-california-teacher-shortages-report\">generally have better educational outcomes when they have stable and qualified teachers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can be especially difficult for admission officials to fully understand the local context of schools that are located far away from their given campus. At UC Irvine in Orange County, admissions staff often have little information about schools in areas like the Central Valley and the northernmost parts of the state near the Oregon border, said Dale Leaman, executive director of undergraduate admissions at the campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaman said he “would love to have more resources” so his staff can visit those schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we have a responsibility to the entire state. We have a responsibility to the students in Eureka and the students in Redding and the students in Chico,” Leaman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Reading applications\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This year, UC \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/why-the-university-of-california-is-seeing-a-massive-surge-in-freshman-applications/648309\">saw a major spike in the number of applications it received for freshman admission\u003c/a>. Across the nine campuses, about 32,000 more students applied for freshman admission in fall 2021 compared to fall 2020, an 18% jump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big increase has overwhelmed some campuses because they haven’t been able to hire more application readers to review and score applications. That can be a detriment to students because it means, on average, their applications are getting less attention than they did when the campuses received fewer applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The increase in applications requires a lot more time. Our staff, they are stretched so thin,” said Michelle Whittingham, the associate vice chancellor of enrollment management at UC Santa Cruz. That campus received 61,708 applications for freshman admission in fall 2021, up from 55,003 the previous year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whittingham said the campus typically employs about 50 readers. Increasing that by anywhere from 25% to 50% would be a big help, she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campuses across UC could also be more efficient with how they review applications, said Jesse Rothstein, a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley and an expert in college admissions. For example, Rothstein said he’s suggested that Berkeley admissions staff give more thorough reviews to applicants who have a realistic chance of being admitted and spend less time with applications that aren’t competitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC \u003ca href=\"https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/applying-as-a-freshman/how-applications-are-reviewed.html\">considers 13 factors when reviewing applications\u003c/a>, ranging from grade point average to extracurriculars to any special circumstances a student faces — such as a disability, low family income or a student being the first in their family to attend college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have to read a lot of applications quickly,” Rothstein said. “They’re somewhat underfunded and under pressure. And that means that they don’t give each application the time it deserves. And I think there’s a lot that the universities can do in the details to make sure that applications do get the care they deserve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Guaranteeing admission\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In-state students who graduate in the top 9% of their high school class are offered guaranteed admission to UC. But those students aren’t guaranteed that they will be admitted to the campus of their choice, just that they’ll be accepted to at least one of the campuses, even if it’s one they didn’t apply to.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'I think if we guaranteed students admission to their local UC, provided they meet the admission criteria, we would see a very different demographic makeup.'","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Audrey Dow, senior vice president of The Campaign for College Opportunity","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC could improve the current guarantee program by creating a local guarantee, where students would be promised admission to the campus closest to their high school if they meet certain criteria, said Audrey Dow, senior vice president of the Campaign for College Opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Black and Latino students attend the state’s CSU campuses and community colleges at higher rates than they do UC campuses, and those who do attend UC have a higher chance of graduating, Dow noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dow said a local guarantee could go a long way in making Black and Latino students better represented at UC’s most competitive campuses. Latino students, for example, make up 25% of the undergraduate student population at UCLA but 65% of the K-12 population in Los Angeles County public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think if we guaranteed students admission to their local UC, provided they meet the admission criteria, we would see a very different demographic makeup. And one that is much more closely aligned with our California communities,” Dow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea, however, has lukewarm support at best from UC admissions officials. Leaman, the UC Irvine undergraduate admissions executive director, noted that the system already has a capacity issue. Most campuses receive more qualified applicants than can be admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a finite number of spots. Any time you make a guarantee to one population, you’re reducing the opportunities for another population,” Leaman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaman pointed out that Irvine does \u003ca href=\"https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/tag-matrix.pdf\">guarantee admission to community college transfers meeting specific criteria\u003c/a>. Irvine is one of six campuses with a transfer guarantee, along with Davis, Merced, Riverside, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898632\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11898632\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"A broken yellow pencil on top of a standardized test.\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/12/RS14608_iStock_000037513244_Large-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Standardized test with a broken yellow pencil, on March 24, 2015. \u003ccite>(Michael Quirk/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>Increasing capacity\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One straightforward way to give more students a real shot at being admitted to UC is to increase the number of spots at each campus. Each year, UC turns away tens of thousands of applicants, including many who are eligible. This year, the system made freshman admission offers to more than 132,000 students but rejected 35% of applicants, or about 71,000 of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have enough seats for all eligible students, and it doesn’t match the demand for a higher education. Families and students want to make more than a living wage. And they know that college is their way to get there,” Dow said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But campuses can’t add more seats without also having additional funding to support those increases. “We need to make sure that we have the infrastructure in place to be able to accept additional students,” said Debi Kammerer, interim director of admissions at UC San Diego. That includes having enough faculty, classroom space and housing to accommodate those students. Housing is already a problem at UC, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/thousands-of-uc-students-struggle-to-find-housing/661082\">with many of the campuses having dealt with housing shortages this fall\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system could soon be getting help from the state Legislature. Lawmakers have said they plan to allocate an additional $67.8 million to UC campuses in 2022-23 to increase the number of spots for California residents by 6,230 students. Whether they’ll follow through on that promise won’t be clear for months, since the final budget isn’t agreed to until the summer. It’s also not clear where Gov. Gavin Newsom, who negotiates the budget with lawmakers, stands on the issue. Eleni Kounalakis, the state’s lieutenant governor, serves on UC’s Board of Regents as a voting member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/with-standardized-testing-out-whats-next-for-university-of-california-admissions/664408\">This story originally appeared in EdSource.\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11898618/with-standardized-testing-out-uc-explores-next-steps-in-making-admissions-more-equitable","authors":["byline_news_11898618"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_1505","news_25288","news_22489","news_30356"],"featImg":"news_11898627","label":"source_news_11898618"},"news_11897034":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11897034","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11897034","score":null,"sort":[1637517760000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"uc-officially-ditches-all-tests-for-undergraduate-admissions","title":"UC Officially Ditches All Tests for Undergraduate Admissions","publishDate":1637517760,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cem>Lea este artículo en \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/calmatters-en-espanol/2021/11/la-uc-abandona-oficialmente-cualquier-prueba-para-las-admisiones-de-pregrado/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">español\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California will not require any kind of admissions test for students trying to gain entry as undergraduates, system leaders reiterated Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the system \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2020/05/uc-sat-act-standardized-test-requirements/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voted last year to do away with requiring the SAT and ACT admissions tests\u003c/a>, still up in the air was whether the UC would decide to use any other test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Signs already strongly suggested that the answer was no.

That the UC ditched the SAT has already led to record-level applications to the system.

Next, making Smarter Balanced an admissions tool would create a new marketplace for test-prep, which the Academic Senate group said would result in wealthier families hiring tutors and purchasing other materials to give their students a leg up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, Smarter Balanced “captures the inequities in opportunities to learn across California schools that are pronounced by race and socioeconomic status,” \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/nov21/b3attach2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Academic Senate group’s September report said\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Drake last month \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Letter-from-President-Drake-Horwitz-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agreed with that recommendation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are admissions tests at the UC gone forever?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Could the UC change its stance and adopt an admissions test again? Maybe, Drake said. If a test comes along and “does what we believe it should do in a way that we believe it’s effective, we certainly could consider adopting such a thing in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one Regent thought keeping the door slightly open for another testing requirement is ill-advised, given how much work is required to overhaul admissions requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would have to rewrite our entire admissions system again,” said Alexis Atsilvsgi Zaragoza, a Berkeley student and Regents member, who noted that admissions offices at the UC scrambled to adjust their criteria for letting students in after the Regents removed the SAT requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>More work for admissions offices without a test\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Still, without a test, admitting students becomes more challenging because of the workload it represents for admissions officers, Estolano said. That the UC ditched the SAT has already led to record-level applications to the system. For fall 2021, the first season after the UC dropped its testing requirement, the UC received more than 200,000 applications, compared with 172,000 in 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Training admissions office staff on the “comprehensive review” process that looks at grades, extra-curriculars, the socio-economic factors in which students grow up and other non-test criteria becomes even more important, Estolano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Relying more on artificial intelligence may be one way to help with the workload. A report to the Regents this week noted that \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/nov21/b2attach.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AI plays a small part in admissions and financial aid decisions at campuses\u003c/a>, but its role could be expanded. “Algorithms could be employed to create a predictive score for each applicant, a process that could help to supplement evaluation by admissions staff,” the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are pitfalls to that approach, the report cautioned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, the potential for adverse outcomes or unintended consequences can be ingrained in AI-enabled tools if they draw on outdated training data or data that is incomplete or unrepresentative of a broad demographic.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11897034/uc-officially-ditches-all-tests-for-undergraduate-admissions","authors":["byline_news_11897034"],"categories":["news_18540","news_8"],"tags":["news_1505","news_22772","news_20013","news_22489","news_30281","news_30280","news_4606","news_6699"],"featImg":"news_11897040","label":"source_news_11897034"},"news_11823948":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11823948","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11823948","score":null,"sort":[1591963231000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"reflecting-on-uc-president-napolitanos-tenure-i-want-to-be-remembered-as-being-lively","title":"Reflecting on UC President Napolitano's Tenure: 'I Want It to be Remembered as Being Lively'","publishDate":1591963231,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>In August, University of California President Janet Napolitano will step down after seven years at the helm.

Our DACA students primarily come from poor families and they need to work to be able to go to school. We're evaluating what our options are there.

One of our next steps would obviously be to continue to urge the Trump administration to leave the program in place.

And then Congress will need to get involved should the Supreme Court rule against us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When the pandemic first hit California, the UC was dealing with a strike by graduate students at UC Santa Cruz, and it looked like students at some other campuses in the system were ready to join. The union has filed charges of unfair labor practices and hearings on that start this month. I wonder if you can share your position right now on that dispute. Those students say that they're not making a living wage.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The graduate students who were on strike went on an unlawful wildcat strike. We have a union. We have a collective bargaining agreement. We simply seek to enforce the agreement that students themselves voted on and approved. They have filed some complaints against us in connection with the wildcat strike. We have filed a complaint against the union for not enforcing the no-strike provisions in their collective bargaining agreement. One of the chief values we get from a collective bargaining agreement is the assurance of labor peace and that there will not be strikes while there is a contract in place. And we think PERB [California's Public Employment Relations Board], which is the body that hears these kinds of issues, ought to enforce the contract that the union and its members agree to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I've spoken to members of the union who went on strike. One of them was making something like $20,000 a year in Santa Cruz, where the cost of living is pretty expensive. It's expensive in L.A., it's expensive in Berkeley. Do you think that $21,000 or $22,000 is a living wage in a place like Santa Cruz?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think you ought to look at the total compensation that graduate students get. They get a waiver of tuition, health insurance, a pretty hefty childcare subsidy. So the overall package is very competitive with other grad student compensation packages around the country. We thought it was a fair deal when it was struck. It will be renegotiated, obviously, when the contract is due to expire. I think it has another two years to go and that would be the appropriate time for these kinds of issues to be raised. It's not appropriate, however, for grad students to hold undergraduate grades hostage, which is what was occurring here. You know, they have a contract. Part of that agreement is that they post grades in a timely manner. They get all of the benefits that I've described, plus some. And a wildcat strike really undercuts the core of why we have collective bargaining to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I also want to get your reaction to reports from Vice News that the UC Santa Cruz Police Department coordinated with the state's National Guard to do surveillance on students during those strikes. I just want to have you address concerns that the situation was approached like a military operation in the view of some.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That question is probably more appropriately addressed to the campus. They will have the real detail on that. But I will tell you that the Santa Cruz campus is very hilly. And I don't think it was so much coordination as UC Santa Cruz Police and National Guard — knowing where each other, where they were — because you couldn't see them just because of the topography of the campus. So I think some of those practicalities came into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this notion that there was surveillance happening to repress protesters, what's your response to that? Because that's the charge: that it was not about logistics but about suppressing protest.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't think the protests were suppressed. They happened. They were very active. Anti-protest surveillance is the perception. I think it's an inaccurate one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given the moment that we're in, I have to also ask you about the role of police, not just during those strikes, but in general. Is there any discussion about defunding the police departments within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not defunding, but we want to make sure that our police are well-trained and are using best practices in terms of de-escalation and that complaints — when made — are handled properly. That there's reporting and accountability, and that we have a systemwide use-of-force policy. There's a campaign — 8 Can't Wait. It's eight fundamental actions that reduce the risk of violence by police departments and we're implementing all of those. We had a very extensive policing task force a year ago that came out with a report with a number of recommendations, all of which are being implemented by the campuses as we speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let's talk about the SAT decision: the UC last month announced it's suspending those testing requirements through 2024. Can you take us inside how that that debate played out within the UC system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure. So in 2018, I asked the academic Senate to review the use of the SAT and ACT as a requirement for admission. There's been a lot of public controversy about the SAT exam: that it is unfairly biased in favor of students from wealthier families, that there was an unhealthy correlation between the SAT and your zip code, that a whole industry had developed for students to prepare for the SAT and that disadvantaged students from lower-income families just plain couldn't afford it. So the faculty did a very extensive report which came to me. I disagreed with the conclusion of the report that we ought to maintain the SAT in part because in our admissions process, we were turning all kinds of gymnastic leaps to mitigate for the biases in the test. And so it seemed to me it was time for the UC to wean its way from the SAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for the next two years, we'll be test-optional, meaning students can elect to submit a test or not. And then, for the following two years, we'll be what's called \"test blind\" — meaning if a student submits a test score, it won't be used in the admissions decision but it can be used for other purposes: some scholarships, for example, or course placement. And then, by 2025, we either will have developed an alternative test or we'll simply have no standardized test requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does UC plan to make yet another admissions test amid criticism that tests are classist, racist and exclusive? What do you think that test will emphasize?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first of all, we haven't made a decision whether to have an alternative test. We are looking at the feasibility of that right now. We require, as does CSU, that high school students take what's called A-G courses. These are the sequence of courses to prepare you to enter university. An alternative test could be more closely aligned with what we want students to have learned in the A-G classes so that admissions officers can evaluate whether students are prepared to enter the university. So that may be one aspect of a new test should a new test actually be developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"education\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>You have been the president of the UC since 2013. How do you want your tenure to be remembered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to be remembered as being lively. We just did so many things. We had the goal of being carbon-neutral by 2025. In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility. We've taken on a lot of big issues, as well as improving the standard metrics like graduation rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think you'll stay in public service after this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, my plan is to have a sabbatical year.

In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility.
