Two University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill students, Guillermo Estrada and Alex Jones, of Phi Kappa Phi fraternity were awarded the FOX Nation Award for Courage Thursday evening. Estrada and Jones captured national attention earlier this year when they, alongside fellow students, defended the American flag during a pro-Palestinian protest on UNC’s campus in Chapel Hill.
RALEIGH — The latest changes in test reporting from the College Board are gathering both approval and protest from education policy analysts and test takers. The College Board has decided to stop “flagging” the results of Scholastic Assessment Tests taken with special accommodations in their reports to colleges. Disability advocates generally applaud this move, but some say removing the asterisk from the scores that appear on transcripts compromises the ability of admissions officers to make informed decisions. In North Carolina, the state’s SAT Report 2003 makes no mention of the number or percentage of students taking an SAT test with accommodations.
