students is unfair to girls A federal judge has ordered that New York State to no longer award college scholarships based on SAT scores This ruling has been the first in the country that has declared the often criticized SAT test the standardized exam used to determine admission at most colleges discriminates against any group although they have been assailed as being biased against minorities In review of the evidence the court concluded that the SAT scores do not capture the student's academic achievement just like the student's yearbook photo captures the full range of her experiences in high school The evidence showed that females score significantly lower that males on the SAT while they perform equally or slightly better than males in high school The judge said exclusive use of SAT scores to award Empire and Regents scholarships violated the equal protection clause of the federal Constitution and has issued a preliminary injunction barring the state from awarding the prestigious grants on that basis |
