The first event under this series, held on April 15, 2025, was a Deliberative Polling event on the use of standardized testing in University of California admissions. We partnered with the Deliberative Democracy Lab to host this event. Students were surveyed before and after the deliberation to gauge their engagement with the event and to assess any change in their beliefs about the use of standardized testing in college admissions. An expert panel responded to students’ questions and engaged in discussions about the admissions process, a UC-specific test, and California policies.
