Florida’s 12 state universities will now accept the Classics Learning Test (CLT), a controversial standardized testing alternative to the SAT and ACT, this fall. They also will continue to accept the more-established SAT and ACT test results.
The CLT focuses on the “classical” Western and Christian canon, according to Inside Higher Ed.
The move comes as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has attempted to reshape higher education in the state, banning diversity programs and fighting with the national College Board over classes like psychology and African American studies.
