- Academic Council’s Standardized Testing Task Force (STTF) Report (2020)
- Letter from Academic Council to UCOP President Janet Napolitano regarding Academic Senate Recommendations on Standardized Testing, April 18, 2020 (endorsing the STTF Report on a 51-0 vote with one abstention, the letter reads in part: “The Assembly was persuaded by the analyses conducted by members of the STTF which demonstrated, perhaps counter-intuitively, that UC’s use of standardized test scores within their local context protects the admission eligibility of the very populations about whom there is concern, and ensures that under-represented, low-income, historically minoritized, and other similar populations are eligible for admission at UC.”)
