昂茨是一个犹太裔的商人，哈佛本科，斯坦福理论物理硕士。他试图获得共和
党1994年加州州长竞选的党内提名但没有成功，但当时他获得了34.3%的选票，被
人笑称为“物理学书呆子的竞选”。他写于2012年的这篇38页长文《美国任人唯贤的
神话》（The Myth of American Meritocracy）在美国教育界如同重磅炸弹，其
翔实的资料（有120处引文）和严密的逻辑使得他的论点极难被反驳。他甚至在论述
中逐一讨论了反方论点和论据，让人更难以挑战他的论述。
可惜的是，这样的真知灼见不能为今天的主流媒体所容，这篇文章很快就“沉下
去”了。他这篇文章的篇幅如此之大，以至于连华裔家长也没几个读完。
昂茨文中第一页就点明了整个问题的大背景：今日美国贫富悬殊愈演愈烈，中
产阶级每况愈下。在这种向上流动性大减，“胜者全拿”的社会里，对绝大多数家庭
而言进入常春藤名校是保证子女将来有出息的唯一道路。
二十世纪二十年代年之前包括哈佛在内的常春藤名校是按学术成绩来录取的，
渐渐的学术成绩优异的犹太裔学生大量涌入常春藤名校。掌控着常春藤名校的盎格
努撒克逊后裔们在二十年代发明了这套号称考虑多方面条件的录取制度好把犹太学
生的比例限制在15%之内。
其实其中的秘密说出来一文不值，基于学习成绩的录取制度也许谈不上是什么
好制度，但是至少公平透明，客观性强。但是哈佛大学在二十年代年引入的这套复
杂，充满主观因素的录取制度最妙之处就在于完全失去透明性，你很难直接对比两
个学生，而校方就可以一手遮天，一方面把犹太裔学生数目限制在一定比例下，一
方面脸不红心不跳地否认自己有任何歧视性政策，是不是听上去很熟悉？
昂茨说的很直白：二战之后，犹太社团通过靠着大规模在媒体和政治上造势给
予常春藤名校巨大的压力。与此同时犹太社团几乎接管了美国的主流媒体，所有三
大电视网，九个好莱坞制片厂中的八家，很多大报社，包括纽约时报和华盛顿邮报
都被其控制。而掌握了权力的胜利果实如此甜蜜：1965年耶鲁更换了招生办公室的
工作人员，第二年，犹太裔学生数量翻番。
与此相反的是，今天亚裔啥也没有，在电影电视电台和出版物上亚裔几乎毫无
踪迹。对大多数美国人而言，主流媒体不报道的事情就不存在，亚裔被歧视当然也
就不会有多少人注意到了。
在过去二十年里亚裔的人口，特别是18岁到21岁年龄段人口（上图虚线）大幅
增长，于此对应的是，录取时不考虑种族因素的加州理工的亚裔学生比例也随之增
长（和虚线伴随增长的那条实线）。但是奇怪的是所有八所常春藤名校（其他八条
实线）的亚裔比例都被稳稳地控制在15%-20%区间，而这一切，据校方说，只是巧
合！
昂茨没有停下来，他用大量数据揭示了一个很多人不清楚的事实：今天犹太裔
学生学术成绩的崩溃，如今犹太裔高中生的学术成绩不但远不如亚裔，连非犹太裔
的白人学生也不及。以下段落大家可以仔细阅读，其中数据实在惊人：哈佛大学录
取的新生中45%是白人，而犹太裔学生高达25%，也就是非犹太裔学生只有20%。而
实际上只占总人口2.1%的犹太裔学生的学术成绩不如非犹太裔的白人学生，离亚裔
差得就更远了，但是他们占了常春藤大蛋糕里最大的一份。
在昂茨看来，犹太裔学生学术成绩的崩溃是如此明显，你无论用哪个指标去衡
量都一样。原因呢？无他，新的一代犹太裔学生失去了父辈和祖父辈努力向上的动
力，读到此处不禁让人唏嘘，二战结束之后的那一代星光灿烂的犹太裔科学家，工
程师，医生和律师们，如果知道后辈如此不长进，不知道会有何感想。昂茨甚至不
留情面地指出，要不是苏联解体为犹太社团带来了一波勤奋好学的新犹太移民，犹
太学生团体的平均学术成绩还要更糟。
他极其伤感地指出：几十年前，当一流高中生中25%是犹太裔的情况下，犹太裔
占据25%的常春藤席位是非常合理的。如今犹太裔在一流高中生的比例已经跌到了
6%，可是犹太裔学生在常春藤大学中的比例还略有增加。
The Myth of American Meritocracy

J ust before the Labor Day weekend, a front page New York Times story broke the news of the largest cheating scandal in Harvard University history, in which nearly half the students taking a Government course on the role of Congress had plagiarized or otherwise illegally collaborated on their final exam.1 Each year, Harvard admits just 1600 freshmen while almost 125 Harvard students now face possible suspension over this single incident. A Harvard dean described the situation as “unprecedented.” But should we really be so surprised at this behavior among the students at America’s most prestigious academic institution? In the last generation or two, the funnel of opportunity in American society has drastically narrowed, with a greater and greater proportion of our financial, media, business, and political elites being drawn from a relatively small number of our leading universities, together with their professional schools. The rise of a Henry Ford, from farm boy mechanic to world business tycoon, seems virtually impossible today, as even America’s most successful college dropouts such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg often turn out to be extremely well-connected former Harvard students. Indeed, the early success of Facebook was largely due to the powerful imprimatur it enjoyed from its exclusive availability first only at Harvard and later restricted to just the Ivy League. During this period, we have witnessed a huge national decline in well-paid middle class jobs in the manufacturing sector and other sources of employment for those lacking college degrees, with median American wages having been stagnant or declining for the last forty years. Meanwhile, there has been an astonishing concentration of wealth at the top, with

Penny Pritzker
Penny attended Castilleja School until 1977.[6][7] She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in economics from Harvard College in 1981.
Pritzker's friendship with Barack Obama and his family dates back to the 1990s when he was a professor at the University of Chicago.[1] Pritzker met Obama at a Chicago YMCA where her son participated in a basketball program coached by Obama's brother-in-law Craig Robinson.[5][27] Obama and his family were frequent guests at Pritzker's Lake Michigan vacation home.[1][28]
Pritzker was an early supporter of Obama's political career, helping to finance his 2004 Senate campaign. Early in the Democratic presidential primary, Pritzker's financing helped Obama's candidacy survive when Obama was trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls.[28] Pritzker remained a major fundraiser for Obama during the 2008 Democratic primary and raised millions overall for his White House bid.[1] She served as the national finance chair of Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.[29] Under her direction, the campaign reached out to small donors. Pritzker also hosted more lavish fundraisers as part of her effort to raise money.[
President Barack Obama nominated Pritzker as United States Secretary of Commerce.
