Cornell, Columbia Accused of Discriminating Against Asian American Students in College Admissions
Cornell Daily Sun ^ | 08/31/16 | By Rebecca Even

Posted on 08/31/2016 5:12:07 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

The Asian American Coalition for Education lodged a complaint with Department of Education last Wednesday, accusing Cornell and Columbia University of discriminating against an Asian student in the admissions process.

The complaint, filed within the Office of Civil Rights, claims that Hubert Zhao ...was unjustly denied admission to both schools last year.

Zhao is an “outstanding student with excellent academic and extracurricular achievements,” a 5.3 GPA and high PSAT and SAT scores, according to the AACE website. He and an Indian American classmate were the only students in their 700-person class who qualified as National Merit semifinalists.

While other students “from different racial groups in his high school, with objectively and often significantly lower academic and extracurricular credentials, were admitted to some of the top 20 universities,” neither Zhao nor his classmate were accepted to any of these schools, the website said.

AACE Vice President Jack Ouyang said in an online statement that Zhao’s experience is “another example of the widespread and systematic illegal discrimination against Asian American students by many colleges.”

That won’t help the GOP. They stick with the Democrats. Little dicks.

As an aside: If all these folks are so smart and score so super high when testing, how come there is no Asian moon base on Mars by now?

All Asian-American students barred from Ivy League schools in spite of, or because of, their high achievement scores should join in this suit.There is obvious discrimination by the admissions offices of many of our universities.

I have long been wondering when Asians, who are the chief victims of so-called “affirmative action,” will realize what’s going on and start acting.

Hey Zhao, how’s those ‘white privilege’ studies working out for you?

After reading this article, it seems that this could be a case of grade discrimination... Preventing students that would push up the grade curves in all classes, making it difficult for those on the bottom of the curve or the “Studies” course majors, to stay there.

Of course they discriminate against Asians - and Whites.
If they didn’t discriminate those groups they would lose their precious ‘diversity.’ The vast majority of the student body would be Asian or White.
Can’t have that.

Yes, they discriminate, illegally and against the constitution. It is a criminal offense.

I was about to say that they are in love with being oppressed in their heads and sticking with the blacks.

I can tell you from experience the parents dont feel that way.

But they still vote dem.

You’d think people terrified of government would vote republican. Problem is they probably dont all understand how a republic works.

Some time ago I went out with a woman who was a graduate of Radcliffe,which soon after went on to be “absorbed” by Harvard.She told me that a fellow classmate of hers who went on the work in Harvard’s Admissions Office told her that if it wasn’t for Harvard’s “affirmative action” policies the entire student body there would consist of Asians and Jews.

America is truly a special place.

Even though they may be smarter, only in America can people, even though they aren't as smart, achieve such amazing things.

Asians are actually the most conservative of the non-white minority groups.

And the reason why many immigrant Asians tend to vote Dem is because many of them haven’t been here long enough to truly feel confident forming their own opinions about US culturally and politically, so they tend to rely on the media, both the news media and the cultural media (movies and tv), and thus tend to buy into the left wing biases perspective as the truth.

The Democrat Party is in the process of shredding itself.

You can’t go on year after year making all these promises to all of your little balkanized ethnic supporter groups. Sooner or later they start coming into conflict with one another, and you’re not able to pay the piper.

I have a friend/former colleague who is white, and whose husband is from the Caribbean.

He is a mix of many interesting ethnicities....African, Indian, Chinese, etc. I often wonder how their children are going to feel when they grow-up and are forced to choose a little box on one of those stupid forms.

They recognize the futility of colonizing a place with no air? Besides, why would you put a moon base on Mars?

It is affirmative action at work. Got to make room for less qualified blacks and Hispanics and the obvious group to be discriminated against are the groups that are “over represented”.
