The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) announced that it is recognizing the work of Yuko Mulugetta and Abraham Mulugetta with a Charles F. Elton Best Paper Award.

The Charles F. Elton Best Paper Award honors scholarship that exemplifies the standards of excellence established by the award’s namesake. Only research manuscripts which made significant scholarly contributions to the field of institutional research and decision-making in higher education are considered for this honor. Selection for this award is a high honor, achieved only through two independent peer review processes: the recipient was selected to present their research at the 2016 AIR annual conference and the resulting manuscript was independently peer reviewed and accepted for publication.

The two are being honored for the research article "Understanding the impacts of the standardized test optional admission policy and global implications."
