<p>Test scores would go down because even though the 500+ students have the average of UVA SAT scores right now, not all of them would end up going to UVA anyway, hence lowering the yield. </p>
<p>The proposal just doesn’t make sense from many angles. I can’t see professors teaching a THIRD class when UVA is supposed to be a world-class research university. In other words, the idea is for professors to dedicate substantial time for research. More teaching would only hinder that. And for god’s sake, who is going to sign up for Saturday classes, really? Lastly, they did not address what financial aid would be like for underprivileged students. This whole move is designed to give wealthy students a better shot at UVA. The only thing that’d make sense is to turn UVA into a private institution at the current enrollment rate.</p>
