Disparate Outcomes by Design:UniversityAdmissions Tests\n\nJay Rosner  \nI am currently serving as the Executive Director of The Princeton ReviewFoundation,administering its national programs since 1995.Before that,I wasgeneral counsel to The Princeton Review from 1993 to 1995.Prior to that,I was anExecutive Director of The Princeton Review responsible for the northwest region,based in Seattle,from 1987 to 1993.I am a member of the New York,New Jersey,Pennsylvania and Oregon bars.  \nThe Princeton Review is the nation's largest SAT preparation company,andthe second-largest test preparation company overall.The Princeton ReviewFoundation is a 501(c)(3)corporation,established by The Princeton Review in 1987,with the mission of providing test preparation courses,materials and related servicesto low-income and underrepresented minority(URM)students.URM studentsusually are considered to be African American,Latino and Native Americanstudents.  \nMost of my work week consists of establishing,designing and monitoringintensive admission test preparation courses provided to URM and/or low-incomestudents.I speak regularly at national and regional educational conferences on thistopic,and I have testified several times before legislative committees.My pro bonoactivities include providing legal advice to students and attorneys who are engagedin disputes with test manufacturers.I have written two articles on admission testingfor periodicals,and one article on test company disputes currently posted on theinternet.I have not testified as an expert at trial or by deposition in any prior case.Iam not being compensated for my work in connection with this matter.  \nMy testimony is based upon my experiences over the last twenty years ofregular involvement with testing as an attorney,an SAT and LSAT instructor and acritic of admission tests.In approximately 1980 I served as pro bono counsel to anAfrican American college student who filed suit against the Educational TestingService(ETS),the world's largest and best-known test producer.  \nThis student's claim arose from his high school counselor advising him notto take a preparation course for the SAT.He subsequently saw several of hisclassmates take a course and improve their SAT scores,and he later learned that hiscounselor had just passed on to him the often-repeated ETS position that preparationcourses were ineffective.His claim was that ETS misled him as to the effects ofcoaching on the SAT.This was my first foray into the world of admission testingbeyond my having taken the SAT,the LSAT and the bar exam.  \nSince then I have participated as counsel or consultant in several litigationmatters against both ETS and Law Services,the producer of the LSAT.I have readwidely on testing issues,and have sought out the most knowledgeable people whocould better my understanding of minority students'performance on admission tests.All told,I have had thousands of conversations and interactions,continuously over  \nthe last 13 years,with students before and after they have taken tests like the SATand the LSAT.These experiences inform my testimony.  \nMy student advocacy includes testifying before legislative committees inCalifornia,Texas and New York regarding standardized admission tests.I am amember of the Advisory Board of the University of Pennsylvania's Department ofAcademic Support,which targets academic services to minority students.I nowsupervise the administration of intensive SAT preparation courses provided to nearly  \n10,000 low-income students in a state-subsidized program in California.I also helpadminister LSAT and other admission test preparation courses in conjunction withpreprofessional advisors on many campuses,including the following historicallyblack campuses:Xavier,Morehouse,Spelman,Howard,Clark Atlanta,MorrisBrown,North Carolina Central,Florida A&M,Hampton,Prairie View and Bethune-Cookman.  \nThe data on which I rely comes from
