Adieu, one day, to the Regents' Exam?

The Board of Regents of Georgia's public university system will now allow universities to petition to opt-out of the Regent's Exam. To petition successfully, a university will have to show the BOR it has an alternative measuring standard in place. The Regents' Exam is a reading comprehension and essay test that has been in place in Georgia since 1972 and that most folks at GSU have been wanting to give the boot for years.

Read the formal BOR announcement here.
Read the AJC article here.

When/if it happens at Georgia State, will it be good riddance? Will its erasure create new problems?
