                               Cause and Effect !

 

     80-20 was and still is the first & only Asian Am national org. to oppose the 

"race-preference" college admissions.  See its 5/12/2012 e-newsletter, entitled

"Battles Have Begun."   

 

     2.5 years later, the following BiGGEST & MOST PRESTIGIOUS periodicals 

published articles pointing to the unfairness of "race-preference" college 

admissions against AsAm students.

  

(1) Nov. 9, 2014, USA  Today, "Asians Get the Ivy League's Jewish Treatment ",
(2) Nov. 9, 2014 , Wall Street Journal, "Harvard's Asian Problem",
(3)Nov. 10, 2014 NY Times, "Is Harvard Unfair to AsAm?",
(4)Dec. 26, 2014Atlantic Magazine

                            "Do diversity indirectly discriminate against Asian Americans?"  

 

     Read the words used in these titles: "Jewish Treatment", "Problem"

"Unfair" and "discriminate" .

 

                    A Widening Rank -- LA Times Joins 

                                           "How can this be possible?"

 

       LA Times is headquartered in LA, where 2 million AsAms make their living. 

Its article on the unfairness of "race-preference" college admissions against 

AsAm students is most welcome.

                  "For Asian Americans, a changing landscape on college admissions"   

 

    Here is AN EXCERPT from Frank Shyong's article.  To read the full article click here.

 

      " "Let's talk about Asians," she (an instructor for college applicants)  says. 

 

         Lee's next slide shows three columns of numbers from a Princeton 

         University study that tried to measure how race and ethnicity affect 

         admissions by using SAT scores as a benchmark. It uses the term 

         "bonus" to describe how many extra SAT points an applicant's race 

          is worth. She points to the first column.

 

         African Americans received a "bonus" of 230 points, Lee says.

         She points to the second column.  "Hispanics received a bonus of 

         185 points."  

 

          The last column draws gasps.  Asian Americans, Lee says, are 

         penalized by 50 points - in other words, they had to do that much 

          better to win admission . . . .

          possible?   . . . . "         (All emphasis added by S. B. Woo)
