Stanford University has decided to reinstate standardized tests for admissions, following similar moves by Harvard and Yale. This decision, reported by Bloomberg on June 8, 2024, comes as colleges struggle to screen out unqualified applicants. The reinstatement of these tests has been a point of contention, with some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) proponents labeling the tests as racist. The move marks a shift back to traditional admissions criteria after a period where many top universities had removed these requirements.
