John Sexton:
To be clear, UC San Diego is not an easy school to get into. And yet, a lot of these top students being admitted can't do Elementary and Middle School math problems. Why is that?
Well, as Megan McArdle suggested this happened because the UC system did away with SAT scores. SATs aren't just optional in the UC system, they are forbidden. The single person who is probably most responsible for that decision, which was made in 2020, is Saul Geiser. Today, Geiser has a opinion piece of his own for Inside Higher Ed in which he argues that dropping the SAT has been a big success because racial equity has increased.
In other news, Saul Geiser is a surface-level-thinking moron.
