The American Mind: Merit Above All
The college admissions process is criticized for being broken, with AI-generated essays and a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) undermining merit. The University of Austin (UATX) has adopted a policy that prioritizes standardized test scores for admissions, aiming to restore meritocracy.
UATX's approach eliminates subjective measures and non-merit-based materials, accepting only applicants with high standardized test scores. This novel policy is seen as necessary in light of the failures of traditional admissions processes, which have been compromised by AI and DEI considerations.
