ACT/SAT Requirement
ACT and SAT tests are no longer required in the WSU admissions process. Regent Lura Powell said the Washington Student Achievement Council allowed public institutes to waive or make optional the two standardized tests in response to COVID-19.
WSU’s temporary decision to waive the ACT and SAT is now permanent. The WSU Office of the Provost proposed the change, Powell said.
The sentiment to move away from standardized tests has been building for a long time, particularly because of concerns for implicit cultural bias. The tests result in inequities among racial and ethnic groups, Powell said.
The Ohio University Board of Trustees on Monday voted unanimously to approve a resolution objecting to the Faculty Senate committee report that recommended upholding the tenure of journalism professor Yusuf Kalyango, who was found by the university Title IX office to have sexually harassed at least two students.
The Board of Trustees, as the final arbiter in determining the fate of the professorâs tenure, made the decision following a more than four-hour long executive session where members reviewed the report and transcripts from the Faculty Senate committee.
Kalyango, who has been at the center of several university investigations and lawsuits in recent years related to sexual misconduct allegations, and his attorney also appeared during the executive session in accordance with the faculty handbook, according to Board of Trustees Chair Janelle Coleman.
