So is your position that, while the SAT is still the best choice for admissions, UC should stop using it for some years in the hopes that this will motivate College Board to improve it more quickly, after which UC should resume using the SAT? That the impact (on future applicants and everyone else involved) of using a worse admissions process for some years is less than the bargaining-chip value?

No

What did you mean by your second sentence?

>"Not using it in its current form is the strongest influence it has to incentivize change."

What change (and by whom) is/should UC incentivize?
