Historically, graduate programs, especially in STEM, have used the Graduate Readiness Exam or the GRE to identify “competitive” potential candidates. Scores are recommended because they serve as a “standard measure” to compare individuals across groups. However, in certain disciplines, evidence points to scores not predicting minority success in graduate school nor establishing who has the capacity to become an effective knowledge producer. Many also argue that GRE scores have become yet another tool used to exclude minoritized students who consistently score lower than their white and Asian counterparts regardless of intended discipline of study....

Since approximately the Pleistocene Epoch, Chicagoans have been split: North Siders favor the Cubs, South Siders the Sox. But the rift is about more than just turf. It’s also about attitude. White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf explains, “The North Siders always tended to look down on South Siders.” The White Sox were shots-andbeers. The Cubs were martinis, very dry. Says Reinsdorf, “Part of being a White Sox fan is you hate the Cubs....
