Molly Frommelt, a CU Student Government tri-executive; Eyob Abai, Leeds Student Government president; and Jesse Alardin Rivera, an EXCEL Scholar at the Leeds School of Business, testified Thursday in the Colorado House Education Committee on behalf of a bill making Colorado higher education admissions considerations “test optional.” Current state law mandates consideration of national assessment tests like the ACT and the SAT in higher education admissions decisions.
