He says he's doing this to help the disabled ( which is a bad legal
argument anyway), but the real reason is because blacks do so poorly on
all standardized tests.

sep 1 2020 The University of California school system must stop using SAT
or ACT scores while making admissions and scholarships decisions, a judge ruled Tuesday.
The decision comes in response to a lawsuit filed earlier this year
alleging the admittance of such scores during the coronavirus pandemic
harmed disabled students who lacked the same test-taking opportunities as >nondisabled individuals. Alameda Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman issued
a preliminary injunction blocking UC universities from accepting standard >test scores in their admissions processes as the complaint is argued in >court.
"The current COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in restrictions in the availability of test-sites. While test-taking opportunities for all
students have been limited, for persons with disabilities, the ability to obtain accomodations or even locate suitable test locations for the test
is 'almost nil,' " Seligman said in a 17-page decision.
