University admissions tests like the SAT are under scrutiny especially in the age of COVID-19

[email protected]_84 November 28, 2020

Many Grade 12 high school students are now looking ahead to post-secondary studies next fall. Those wishing to attend universities in the United States will see that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the growing shift to test-optional university admissions policies — or scrapping entrance tests altogether.

Due to COVID-19, many U.S. universities, including Yale, Cornell, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania have announced they won’t require applicants for fall 2021 to write either the SAT or ACT.

But even before the pandemic, entrance examinations were under scrutiny. The University of California voted in May to phase out both the SAT and the ACT as requirements for university admissions, largely due to concerns over racial and cultural bias. Other universities have made similar pronouncements.

Many people are wondering if the COVID-19 pandemic will spell the end of university admission testing altogether, and what the implications are for Canadian universities and the

Alabama coach Nick Saban tests positive for COVID-19

[email protected]_84 November 26, 2020

Alabama football coach Nick Saban has tested positive for COVID-19, university officials said Wednesday.

The news comes ahead of Crimson Tide’s annual Iron Bowl showdown with Auburn that’s set to take place on Saturday.

“This morning we received notification that Coach Saban tested positive for COVID-19. He has very mild symptoms, so this test will not be categorized as a potential false positive. He will follow all appropriate guidelines and isolate at home,” the university said in a statement.

Saban tested positive for the virus before Alabama’s game against Georgia in October, but was asymptomatic, CBS reported. The 69-year-old Saban had three consecutive negative tests and was able to coach in Alabama’s win over Georgia.

According to ESPN, with Saban isolating on Saturday, head-coaching duties will likely be turned over to offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, who was the previous head coach at USC and Washington.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — University of South Carolina President Bob Caslen said Wednesday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus.

Caslen said he tested positive Tuesday evening and is isolating at home, according to a news release, which added that he is asymptomatic.

Caslen, who was chosen to head the state’s largest institution of higher learning in 2019, gets tested at least three times a week for the virus. The positive test was administered through the university, which offers saliva-based and nasal swab tests to students, faculty and staff.

“I am in good health and continuing to work from home. I look forward to returning to the office as soon as possible,” Caslen said in a statement. “My diagnosis reinforces the need for everyone to get COVID tested regularly to protect yourself and your loved ones.”

Caslen had announced earlier this week that the university would institute monthly mandatory

Arizona university locks students out of classes for not getting mandatory coronavirus tests

[email protected]_84 November 22, 2020

Northern Arizona University cracked down on students who hadn’t received mandatory COVID-19 testing by locking them out of their online classes, a move that prompted most to get into compliance.

University spokeswoman Kimberly Ott said about 25 students were notified early in the past week they wouldn’t have continued access to the online instruction system because they didn’t get tests or seek an exemption even after three email notifications and a phone call, the Arizona Daily Sun reported.

The system is used for all online materials, including the submission of assignments and exams.

By Wednesday, most of the students completed testing or provided exemption information to get back online, Ott said.

The university would reactivate the other students’ accounts once they meet the requirements, Ott said.

Faculty members heard about the crackdown from distressed students who were unable to access their accounts, Faculty Senate President Gioia Woods said.
