This will interest many of you, I am sure. From today's Inside Higher Ed:
An article <http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/07/29/redundancy_testing/?page=1> by Christopher Shea in /The Boston Globe'/s Ideas section Sunday explored the significance of Charles Murray, who cited IQ tests in his controversial work /The Bell Curve/ and who is known for believing that intelligence can be measured, turning against the SAT. The /Globe/ quotes one promnent SAT critic as calling Murray's conversion a "Nixon going to China" moment. Murray outlined his new position this month in an article in /The American/ <http://www.american.com/archive/2007/july-august-magazine-contents/abolish-the-sat/?searchterm=charles%20murray> in which he said that the SAT provided little real information and that the test has become a "corrosive symbol of privilege."
