Joseph Rios, assistant professor in the Department of Educational Psychology’s quantitative methods in education (QME) program, has been appointed to the ACT (American College Test) technical advisory committee. In this role, Dr. Rios will not only provide psychometric expertise but also deliver guidance related to diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in college admissions testing.

Dr. Rios’ experience on the technical advisory committee has influenced a proposed conceptual framework for making ethical decisions related to college admissions, which he delivered at the recent NCME conference in San Diego, “College Admissions Testing in the Land of Babel.”
