  • Tech billionaire Elon Musk's increasing influence in the United States as a key ally of incoming President Donald Trump and around the world has stoked concerns among far-right figures in the United Kingdom.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing debate over the use of standardized tests in college admissions, particularly focusing on the recent decisions by several universities to reinstate the requirement for SAT or ACT scores. Previously, many institutions had made these tests optional due to the disruptions caused by the global health crisis. The piece highlights arguments from both sides: proponents argue that standardized tests provide a fair, objective measure of student ability, potentially benefiting underrepresented students by offering a standardized metric for comparison. Critics, however, contend that these tests perpetuate inequality, as they can be influenced by socioeconomic factors like access to test preparation resources. The article also mentions that some universities are adopting a "test-flexible" approach, allowing students to submit other forms of achievement or aptitude evidence. This shift reflects broader discussions on equity, access, and the predictive value of standardized tests in higher education.
