"College Board’s decision to ditch Landscape sends an incredibly problematic message: that tools to pursue diversity, even economic diversity, aren’t worth defending due to the fear of litigation." —Julie J. Park in her piece for @insidehighered.com

Why Did College Board End Best Admissions Product? (opinion)

The end of Landscape is a loss for efforts to broaden economic diversity, Julie J. Park writes. Earlier this month, College Board announced its decision to kill Landscape, a race-neutral tool that allowed admissions readers to better understand a student’s context for opportunity. After an awkward 2019 rollout as the “Adversity Score,” Landscape gradually gained traction in many selective admissions offices.
