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.

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