In an open letter to social work deans and directors dated December 21, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer of the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Dwight Hymans responded to calls from academic leaders to produce data about how often various demographic groups pass or fail licensing exams. His letter acknowledges the historical moment of anti-racist justice movements, the need to make exams less expensive, and the desire to engage with academic stakeholders. However, his statement raises more questions than it answers, and more troublingly, it evinces a shallow commitment to racial equity and open data that will preserve an untenable status quo.

种族偏见和 ASWB 考试:数据公平的失败

在日期为 2020 年 12 月 21 日给社会工作院长和董事的一封公开信中,社会工作委员会协会 (ASWB) 首席执行官德怀特·海曼斯 (Dwight Hymans) 回应了学术领袖的呼吁,要求提供有关各种人口群体通过或失败的频率的数据执照考试。他的信承认了反种族主义正义运动的历史时刻、降低考试成本的必要性以及与学术利益相关者接触的愿望。然而,他的声明提出的问题多于答案,更令人不安的是,它表明了对种族平等和开放数据的肤浅承诺,这将保持站不住脚的现状。
