Your conclusion is right.  <i>To me, that helps keep schools honest and continuously adapting their curriculum&#x27;s</i> (except for the misplaced apostrophe).<p>In other words:  Sure, you have a 4.0 in engineering from Stanford.  But now let&#x27;s see if you can actually compute a Fourier transform.  Or even if you know when to use a FT.<p>To my generation, that&#x27;s damning.  In other words, (quoting you here) <i>ensuring, through their own testing, that candidates meet the proper qualifications without school bias</i> is the new normal, and it&#x27;s different in a way that says we don&#x27;t&#x2F;can&#x27;t trust the universities to deliver their product any more.  The status of the universities has changed in our society, and that, in my opinion, is an early signal for a coming disruption.
