The man behind the SAT said he had “closed the loophole” that college counselor William Singer drove a truck through in the biggest U.S. admissions scandal ever prosecuted.
Asked by “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King whether the College Board had changed the way it runs the college entrance exam in reaction to the scam, Chief Executive Officer David Coleman said it would be “much more careful” with the “small environments we designed for students who need accommodations and who have special needs, and that was exploited here,” and make sure “identity is proven several times over.”
