Colleges use placement tests for college level rarely met by state HS standard tests SAT/ACT only comparable HS test across US. Useful only for competitive admit only. Flaw: Top scores based on content that will be taught in univ, doesn't predict completion nor prep for unrelated programs

They should be removed with another test that truly demonstrates their understanding on topics Math, Reading, science, and history at the end of Junior or senior year. The SAT is for profit and multiple choice, not good as a exam indicator of proficientcy.

Its a standard for a reason. Especially for the US, where public high-school graduates are reading around an 8th grade level. Letter grades are not indicative of quality of the content.

As Mizzou learned the hard way, campus protests can be very bad for the institution of higher learning. Police and even the National Guard should be used to restore order and make it safe for minorities (e.g., Jewish students) to attend class. The left has taken over higher ed, you see results. FJB

Harry, your reply to me is true, and accurate, but a peaceful protest is legal.

Start holding the alumni accountable who use the state taxpayer dollars in the form of their state government salaries to donate and buy tickets to athletic programs of these universities. Revoke their degrees, and find someway of filing criminal charges against them even if you have to make it up.

They need to revoke the degrees of each and every UM Columbia grad who has an engineering degree starting with the walking dictionary we have in my hometown who times stoplights. That computer geek can do nothing but quote a bunch of state regulations and policy that nobody understands.

No, not if they are peaceful, otherwise the answer is yes.

When was the last time you saw a peaceful leftist protest? "We need some muscle over here" ring any bells?
