NEW YORK (AP) — Teachers and some state lawmakers on Monday proposed to change how students compete for admission to New York City’s most selective public high schools, saying the current one-test system is unfair and excludes talented minorities.

“The nation’s elite colleges — from Harvard and Princeton to Columbia and New York University — use multiple measures to evaluate student applicants as part of their admission process,” said United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew. “But New York City continues to rely on a single, outmoded multiple-choice test for admission to its top academic high schools.”
