Is a college education worth the money?
See Griggs Vs Duke Power. The courts essentially made less expensive means, eg testing, illegal in an attempt at "fairness".

There's a legal way around that. You could set race quotas that would keep you out of court, have the test, and hire the top people from each race.

That wasn't a court precedent, it was a legal lynching during special circumstances. Plenty of companies currently get away with using aptitude tests as part of interviewing, and this is supported by copious precedents.
