> that 20 of the applicants pass the objective proficiency bar, and now people will apply subjective criteria like "culture fit", who has "leadership potential", etc, and this is where bias creeps in.

If that was the case they wouldn't drop SAT. Fact is they want to accept people with worse objective scores, this whole discussion and article is about that fact. Instead they will use "culture fit" and "leadership potential" to discriminate against Asians and bring in more desirable minorities.

I think the debate is over whether the SAT is as objective as we all want it to be. I'm sympathetic to the argument that rich kids with tutors have an advantage, but I personally don't think the solution is to drop it entirely.
