Kelly Rosinger, assistant professor of education (education and public policy) and research associate in the Center for the Study of Higher Education, is co-principal investigator (PI) on a study that received a $1.4 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Within the context of more colleges and universities electing to implement test-optional policies and practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the two-year project, “Test-Optional Admissions Policy Equity Outcomes,” will draw on detailed information regarding institutions' test-optional policies to examine their relationship with the number of applications colleges receive, the percent of students who are accepted, the yield rate, and enrollment by race and economic status. Julie Park (University of Maryland) is PI, and additional co-PI’s are OiYan Poon (Spencer Foundation), Dominique Baker (Southern Methodist University) and Brian Kim (University of Virginia).
