Merit or Privilege?: Test Scores and College Admissions

Join us as we confront the intersection of standardized testing, college admissions, and social equality. Nicholas Lemann of Columbia University, author of Higher Admissions: The Rise, Decline, and Return of Standardized Testing, will be joined by a panel of University of Chicago scholars, including economist and Stone Center Director Steven Durlauf, sociologist Stephen Raudenbush, and economist Lesley Turner, to discuss the impact standardized tests have had on educational systems, opportunity, and social mobility.

The conversation will be moderated by Jason Merchant, Vice Provost of Academic Affairs.

***This is an in-person event.***
