Judge's Injunction Bars SAT, ACT Scores in UC Admissions

The University of California can no longer use standardized testing scores as criteria for admissions, a California judge ruled in a preliminary injunction Monday. The policy at many UC campuses that gives students an option to submit test scores puts the access of students with disabilities at a disadvantage and may violate the Americans with Disabilities Act, wrote Judge Brad Seligman in a preliminary injunction ruling for the Smith v. Regents of the University of California lawsuit obtained by Public Counsel, a pro bono law firm based out of Los Angeles.
