Our collective ability to radically reimagine college admissions justice begins with naming how the absence of choice is experiencing varying forms of oppression. You are invited to immerse yourself in different college-going pathways to learn about how oppression works in real-time when historically excluded students attempt to navigate college-going pathways.
We want to remind you that test-optional is but one admissions policy within the higher education ecosystem. And the concept of standardized tests is rooted in the racist, colonizer history of the United States of America. View the test-optional timeline and follow along with the audio companion to understand the longstanding racism and discrimination embedded in standardized tests. References for the critical historiography of standardized tests are here.
We also unpack how white logic has legitimized the use of standardized tests in our annotated bibliography, making admissions justice all the more important.
