for Fair Admissions在告哈佛歧视亚裔。

The lawsuit also cites Harvard’s Asian-American enrollment at 18 percent in
2013, and notes very similar numbers ranging from 14 to 18 percent at other
Ivy League colleges, like Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Princeton and Yale.
In contrast, it says, in the same year, Asian-Americans made up 34.8 percent
of the student body at the University of California, Los Angeles, 32.4
percent at Berkeley and 42.5 percent at Caltech. It attributes the higher
numbers in the state university system to the fact that California banned
racial preferences by popular referendum in 1996, though California also has
a large number of Asian-Americans. | f**********n

大概没有考虑被卡在门外的亚裔学生的损失。
The Harvard lawsuit likens attitudes toward Asian-Americans to attitudes
toward Jews at Harvard, beginning around 1920, when Jews were a high-
achieving minority. In 1918, Jews reached 20 percent of the Harvard freshman
class, and the university soon proposed a quota to lower the number of
Jewish students.
That history, Mr. Dershowitz said, made affirmative action opponents wary of
admissions policies that resulted in a college population reflecting a
group’s share of the general population.
Some Asian-American students believe Harvard’s system has enriched their
educational experience. Emily Choi, who will be a junior with a history and
literature concentration at Harvard this fall, said the university had been
her dream school since she visited in seventh grade.
She graduated from Ardsley High School in Westchester County, N.Y., as
editor of the newspaper, president of the Latin Club and vice president of
the student council with a 4.0 G.P.A. and 35 out of 36 on the ACT.
She was not aware of concerns about discrimination against Asian-Americans
until she arrived on campus and heard about the lawsuit, she said, and she
was glad of the diversity she found at Harvard.
“I firmly believe in affirmative action,” Ms. Choi said. “The diversity
at Harvard has been key to my learning, and I think that if there weren’t
so many people of different backgrounds, I wouldn’t be forced to think
about things in new ways.” |
