Secret Socioeconomic ‘Adversity Score’ Being Assigned to SAT Test Takers — Disclosed Only To Colleges

The College Board is trying to make the SAT more 'fair' for everyone by taking social and economic factors into account.
This is really just the latest attempt to institutionalize the concept of social justice into higher education. But this process is pernicious -- the students who are assigned a socioeconomic score won't know how they score, so they may be penalized in college admissions without knowing it. It's like being on Double Secret Probation (ref. Animal House).
