The American Bar Association voted against eliminating the LSAT as a requirement for law school admission on Monday despite the group's legal education council broadly supporting the move.
, Kellye Testy, the council's president, said the vote"will ensure that we have additional time for research into the actual impact of test-optional policies on students and diversity."
The LSAC and other groups that opposed the removal of the test said that eliminating the requirement would actually harm diversity efforts because admissions offices would place greater emphasis on the prestige of an applicant's undergraduate institution and other more subjective assessment measures.
