发帖数: 32 | 1 相信大家还记得几个月前我们在这里发起的反高校“族裔优先”录取政策的签名活动。这是今天80-20教育基金会给大家的进展报告：
一个知名的犹太组织将和我们亚裔一起来递交“法律之友"文件.（是的，犹太朋友们认
为一百多年前藤校限制他们的入学率不对，现在限制亚裔的入学率也不对。）带有咱们
五万亚裔民调结果的"法律之友"文件应该在5/29正式递交最高法院。
请看下图，今年哈佛亚裔录取率是近五年来最高的（15%的增长），相信这和大家一起
的努力有一定的关系。
请大家继续关心和支持我们为保护自己孩子上他们理想的高校的权利。

Purpose? To reverse or substantially weaken the current
"race-conscious" college admission policy.
[A] In Our Nation's Highest Court, 80-20 has
(1) partnered with Brandeis Center For Human Rights, a well-known
Jewish org., to co-file an amicus brief. Kenneth Marcus, Center's
President, was staff director of The federal Civil Rights Commission.
Marcus said,"It wasn't right for the Ivies to limit Jewish students
then, it's not right for Ivies to limit Asian Ams students now."

(2) engaged Alan Gura, a constitutional law specialist, who recently
won an unexpected and important case in the Supreme Court.

(3) An amicus brief shall be filed by us on May 29th.
[B] In the Court of Public Opinion, 80-20 has greatly
(1) publicized IRREFUTABLE evidence of shocking discrimination
against AsAms by "race-conscious" admission policy:
To receive equal consideration by elite colleges, Asian Americans
must outperform* Whites by 140 points, Hispanics by 280 points,
Blacks by 450 points in SAT (Total 1600).
(2) publicized RECENT newspaper articles focused on the connection
between the earlier Jewish experience in Ivies and the recent AsAm
experience. See for instance a 4/29/12 Chronicle of Higher
Ed article
http://chronicle.com/article/Asian-Americans-the-New-Jews/13172 .
[C] What Is 80-20 Trying To Achieve Thru. [A] & [B]?
Many Supreme Court justices are quite aware of how the Ivies
limited the number of Jewish students when they themselves were
attending colleges. A joint brief with the Brandeis Center may help
invoke their sense of injustice that Asian Am students face today.
We want to thank Mr. Marcus, Mr. Gura and others in the
legal & Jewish Am. community for helping to forge this strategy.
[D] A Silver Lining?
When we begin to fight for ourselves, others may then help
as seen in [A] & [B] above. Others may even respond positively. See
below:
A possible exam 57e8 ple is a 15% increase in Harvard's offer to AsAm
students THIS year (class of 2016) as compared with the past 5
years. See below:
80-20 fights for you. Disturbingly, APALC, headed by Stewart
Kwoh ( s***[email protected] ) goes out of its way to support a
"race-conscious" college admission policy. Pls. continue to reason &
plead with him. If he refuses to respect our community's overwhelming
consensus, then hold him ACCOUNTABLE.
