The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges has published a white paper and resolution on using multiple measures for assessment:

Both the white paper and resolution critique the use of standardized placement tests for writing, arguing instead for multiple measures and local control.

The Academic Senate for California Community College’s position on assessment is supported by NCTE’s 2014 platform, which also argues for the use of multiple measures and local control of assessment. NCTE’s 2014 platform can be found at:
