AACE Urges the College Board to Halt Expansion of the SAT Adversity Score
Livingston, New Jersey, June 3, 2019, — Asian Coalition for Education (AACE) recently issued an official letter to Mr. David Coleman, CEO of College Board, urging the College Board to halt its hasty proposal of expanding the “S.A.T. Adversity Score” to 150 more colleges nationwide before conducting a thorough review with Asian American communities who has a high stake in this important change.
