College Board tries to address inequality, and takes a beating
The College Board didn't intend to trigger America's longstanding squeamishness around race, class and educational achievement. But that's exactly what happened when it tried to introduce a measure of "adversity" that test-takers have faced in life.
The College Board is the non-profit that administers the SAT exam. In May, it announced a new process to assign an "adversity score" along with students' results. Race was not to be a factor.
