A Chinese-American student, Jian Li, filed a complaint against Princeton with the Education Department in 2006, alleging discrimination on the basis of race or national origin. Li, who scored the maximum 2400 on the SAT and 2390 -- 10 points below the ceiling -- on subject tests in physics, chemistry and calculus, was denied admission by Princeton, Harvard, Stanford University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2008, the Office for Civil Rights broadened its examination of Li’s complaint into a compliance review of whether Princeton discriminates against Asian-Americans. ‘Substantially Identical’ Because the 2011 complaint against Princeton “raised substantially identical issues,” the agency is folding it into the compliance review, the Education Department spokesman said. Li enrolled at Yale University and later transferred to Harvard, graduating in 2010. He declined to comment, citing concerns about a backlash.

Harvard Revisited The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights first examined Harvard’ s handling of Asian-American applicants more than 20 years ago. It turned up stereotyping by Harvard evaluators, such as this comment about one Asian- American candidate: “He’s quiet and, of course, wants to be a doctor.” It also documented that Harvard admitted Asian-Americans at a lower rate than white applicants even though the Asian- Americans had slightly stronger SAT scores and grades. Nevertheless, the agency concluded in 1990 that Harvard didn’t violate civil rights laws because preferences for alumni children and recruited athletes, rather than racial discrimination, accounted for the gap.

摘一个文章下面的评论!那里的user comments信息量超高。 How come there are no numerous lawsuits filed/ mass protests initiated by the long-suffering Asian-Amercian communities against the Ivy League schools over such blatant reverse discrimination ? In a litigious society like the USA, suing is the only way to go when nobody listens! Bitching in public will get you nowhere...as usual.
