They’re “changing” the world, not “saving” it. Change can always be for the worse.

Edit: I read the article, and it makes sense that colleges are seeking to maximize their future revenue stream.

There is definitely a cultural divide. Among most of my white and Latino classmates, the SAT was treated like an IQ test: you just show up and see what happens. For better or worse, this is probably what colleges originally intended, for the SATs to be legal and non-controversial proxy for IQ. My Asian and Indian classmates treated it like any other test, something you can study for and improve at. They expected that they could boost their scores hundreds of points between their PSATs and SATs by taking classes and studying hard.
