Dear XXX,
I hereby urge you to vote against SCA-5. SCA-5 allows public universities to
use race and ethnicity as a factor for admissions. This amendment is openly
racist. If passed, it will impose one of the most significant restrictions
on the the universal right of education for all children and youth. If
passed, it is definitely one of the most racist bills in the history of
California. If passed, it could open the door for discrimination on the

Dear XXX,
I strongly urge a "No" vote on SCA-5. SCA-5 allows public universities to
use race in admissions decisions. In 1997 former President Bill Clinton
insisted that he wants to continue in this direction--tilting the government
's emphasis from "race-based" programs like affirmative action toward
initiatives that target "economic need". That's where President Clinton
thinks this whole thing needs to be going. Programs to aid disadvantaged
students should focus on economic need alone an... 阅读全帖 |

标 题: AA其实对亚裔并非不利
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Dec 29 15:10:00 2015, 美东)
这其实是个unintended consequence。并不是说AA是为了照顾亚裔。
大家有兴趣可以看看，UCLA的law school的教授Richard Sander的研究成果，叫做
mismatch effect。
这个Richard Sander是强烈反对AA的，但是他的出发点很有趣，他是觉得废除AA对黑人
有利。他研究发现，几乎50%的黑人学生在大学的后面20%，越被照顾上大学的学生表现
反而越差。这些人还不如去上差一些的学校，发展反而会更好。
这些黑人由于被拔高后，放在一个对他们不利的竞争环境当中竞争。长期的竞争劣势导
致他们对自己失去了信心。导致非常高的dropout rate。最后成为律师，医生，和教授
的黑人少之又少。
目前所有对AA正经的研究（发表在peer review journal上的）都发现，AA对... 阅读全帖 |

因为毕竟白人人口占主体。以白人为参照，亚裔的录取标准稍微高一点点，但并没有高
多少。黑人以白人为参照，收到了巨大的照顾。但是黑人人口又不是主体，大学生人口
中更不是主体，所以会有这种mismatch effect。
如果说，参照为主体的白人，亚裔的标准高很多的话，确实对亚裔很不利。 |

美国的教育两极分化, 优秀的这批学生数理一点也不比国内的差。中国的教育是很厉害
, 比如每年国内奥赛得金牌的父母有些是工人农民, 而美国奥赛的小孩家长都是有两把
刷子的非普通人。
美国是一个靠百分之一精英驱动的国家，这一点也不难从他们的教育看出来。
以高中来说，大多数公立学校对学生要求很低，毕竟是纳税人的孩子，只是保证学生在
上学而已，可以说那里的学生就是我们在大多数美国“青春电影”里看到的，可能基本
数学都掌握的不怎么样。比如说学生毕业后假如成为了收银员，94块为了方便钱你给了
104，他们不会直接找10块，而是推给你钱，然后找6块。
相比之下，精英私校或者顶级公校在应试方面甚至类似于中国高考，同时还要为大学申
请参加、组织各项比赛、活动。日后他们就成了硅谷创业人、华尔街大佬、政界的所谓
精英，成为1-2％的人。
要说反智，我认为还是要考虑教育环境。我的意见是：中国在平均水平的基础教育已经
超过了美国（我们大多数人都可以觉得美国中下阶级反智） ，而美国作为移民国家占

发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Mar 20 20:11:47 2018, 美东)
经济学有个说法，贸易逆差短期由供求决定，长期由劳动生产率决定。生产率高的国家
顺差，低的国家逆差。
而劳动生产率中最关键的因素是劳动者的个人素质，受教育程度，上进心，纪律素质等
等。

哈佛大学被控歧视亚裔学生一案持续延烧，加州大学15日被该校法学教授及亚裔社
团联合提告，要求提供九个分校大学部学生入学资料，以检视筛选标准是否违反州法规
定，在入学程序上将种族因素考虑进去，并可能进一步不利于亚裔学生的入学机会。
据纽约时报（The New York Times）报导，加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）法学院教
授桑德（Richard Sander）与亚裔美国人社区服务中心（Asian American Community
Services Center）主席沈家麒昨天召开记者会，宣布向加州大学提告。
桑德认为加州大学长期以来承受非裔美国籍学生入学率持续下探的庞大压力，因此
在入学筛选条件上偷偷地重新将种族因素考虑进去，使得2006至2013年间非裔美籍及西
班牙裔学生的入学率大幅攀升，亚裔及白人学生的入学率则被压缩。
桑德指出2014年UCLA一份内部报告能够佐证他的论点，报告指出当年度非裔美籍学
生及西班牙裔学生占所有入学生的比重过多，相反地，亚裔学生的比例则明显不足。
