Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

I find no evidence to support this statement. The FairTest website does not contain a section devoted to the issue of grading bias. In addition, a search of articles and statements by Mr. Schaeffer does not contain any mention of the issue of grading bias. In fact, there is evidence to suggest that Fair Test opposes efforts to address the negative effects of grading bias. According to a Christian Science Monitor article addressing the admission gender gap, Mr. Schaeffer is quoted as opposing efforts to achieve equity in admission decisions (http://www.csmonitor.com/durable/2001/05/22/p11s1.htm). Can you provide any evidence of legal action you have taken against schools that show a gender difference in student grades?
