Harvard accused of bias against Asian-Americans
May 16, 2015, 06:12:01 PM
#1
A complaint Friday alleged that Harvard University discriminates against Asian-American applicants by setting a higher bar for admissions than that faced by other groups.
The complaint, filed by a coalition of 64 organizations
, says the university has set quotas to keep the numbers of Asian-American students significantly lower than the quality of their applications merits
. It cites third-party academic research on the SAT exam showing that Asian-Americans have to score on average about 140 points higher than white students, 270 points higher than Hispanic students and 450 points higher than African-American students to equal their chances of gaining admission to Harvard. The exam is scored on a 2400-point scale.

I find such news truly shocking. You'd expect that reputable universities such as Harvard should keep a certain level of objectivity to students. Especially having to do with grades that could affect them on their life through and after academic studies. I can't see why race should play a role when comparing students.

I have been dealing with affirmative action my whole life. It sucks that I had to work harder for achievements than others with similar hardships, based solely upon race. But on the other hand it forced me to achieve at a higher level, so I guess its not all bad.

Well, they're cleverer and tend to work harder than us honkies so we need some affirmative action too. Otherwise there won't be any accessible education left.

Al Sharpton is running right now to help those Asian students...
What's news is the Asian students got finally tired of this bs. Good for them.

Harvard knows the fact that Asians is superior to other races. If Harvard is not bias to Asians, The Asians numbers will most likely increase while the other inferior races numbers will most likely decrease. Harvard want to preserve the ratio between the races.

Yeah Asians are pretty good at cheating.

Lol... Asian-Americans seems to have bigger balls when compared to White Americans. Harvard (and most of the other major US universities) have been discriminating against meritorious White American students for many decades now, and no one has ever complained about it. And now when a minority group is targeted, there is a lot of hue and cry.
