李建案的意義在於提請媒體注意一個公認的事實,大學錄取中的對亞裔的不公平(這點在很多書中都有論及,恕不複述。有興趣可讀:The Price of Admission by Daniel Golden)。這種不公是違反人權法的(The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces several federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance from the Department of Education (ED). Discrimination on the bases of race, color, and national origin is prohibited by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; sex discrimination is prohibited by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972; discrimination on the basis of disability is prohibited by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Title II prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities, whether or not they receive federal financial assistance); and age discrimination is prohibited by the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.)
至於您無憂大人擔心麻省大學在亞裔招生會從28%降到18%,請容在下提醒:
1、根據The Princeton Review,MIT是讀書最苦的學校。所以,相比與其他IVY,申請人數要少得多。見數據:
Harvard Class of 2010 申請人數 22,753 , 錄取人數 2,109
Yale Class of 2010 申請人數 21,099, 錄取人數 1,823
Princeton Class of 2010 申請人數 17,563, 錄取人數 1,792
Stanford Class of 2010 申請人數 22,000, 錄取人數 2,400
MIT Class of 2010 申請人數 11,373, 錄取人數 1,474
2、U.S.News的排名及排名方法直接引響大學錄取方式(The Early Admissions Game: Joining the Elite,by Christopher Avery, Andrew Fairbanks, Richard Zeckhauser),SAT(25%-75%)和四年畢業率是評比參數之一。為確保排名,麻省需要亞裔!
