For those of you following the SAT end of the standardized testing debate, there's this article in today's Inside Higher Ed. Following on last year's landmark report questioning the use of the SAT in admissions decisions, the National Association of College Admissions Counseling is moving to carry out some of the recommendations of the report, most notably requiring training for admissions staff in the appropriate use of standardized tests in admissions. Some staff have received training only from the testing companies themselves...something of a conflict of interest.
