GUEST COLUMN Falling off the tight rope
By Jonathan T. M. Pitts-Wiley Guest Columnist
As a student of color, I find the legal action being brought by Jian Li, Yale '10 extremely disquieting. In an era when affirmative action and campus diversity are still hot-button issues, Li had the nerve to use this controversial platform to explain why he was not admitted to Princeton. Rather than treat this rejection as a personal matter, Li is alleging an anti-Asian bias in Princeton's admission practices, citing unequal affirmative action policies and his own personal achievements as proof of discrimination.
It would appear that Li takes exception with the points given or taken away from other minority groups in this country with regard to the SAT. According to the research, some students get more points added to their scores while others have points deducted depending on what racial demographic they are a part of. What he fails to realize is that race and socioeconomic are closely joined in this country. That is to say, just because an individual is a person of color does not mean that they have the exact same advantages and disadvantages as an individual of color who is of a different racial background. To assume that the circumstances of every person of color in this country are identical and should thus be quantified similarly when considering SAT scores is naive.
Li went into depth about his high school accomplishments, both scholastic and otherwise, and uses that success as an indication of failure on the part of Princeton. I find this argument ludicrous for several reasons. Universities, imperfect as they can be, at least attempt to create an environment of thinkers from different walks of life. In doing so, their mission is to pick the best of particular groups and categories. Whether we like it or not, the reality of the situation is that applicants are judged against whatever group or groups in which they fall. Li believes his non-admission was based on his heritage. That is not the case. He was measured up against other well-qualified Asian-Americans and Princeton made its decision with regard to that particular pool of qualified applicants. To assume that this rejection occurred because he was Asian or to even think the same did not happen to other perfectly qualified students of a similar background is ridiculous.
It appears that Li's argument is as follows: As an Asian-American who is extremely intelligent and involved in things outside the classroom, the only explanation for his not being admitted is discrimination. Li here fails to realize or show regard for several pertinent factors. First, it appears that he is not aware that a staggering majority of the students at elite universities in this country were also extremely gifted and involved students in high school. In that way, he is not unique. Second, and much more important, his argument and suit do not address the tangible numbers in the situation concerning Asian-American students in higher education.
According to the 2005 census, Asian-Americans made up 4.3 percent of the population compared to 74.7 percent for whites (which included Hispanics that identified as white), 12.1 percent for African-Americans and 0.8 percent for Native Americans. According to Princeton's admissions website, the 2006-07 undergraduate enrollment demographically broke down as such: 64 percent white Americans and 28 percent American minorities, which includes African-American, Asian-American, Latino and Native American students. Of those 28 percentage points, roughly 13 represent students of Asian-American descent. Considered in the context of national demographics, Asian-Americans are overrepresented at the University. How does one explain Li's allegations?
Li does not take exception with the representation of Asian-Americans at Princeton. Rather, he finds it unacceptable that he is not party to that representation. How would he explain the Asian-American presence at Princeton? Did these students merely get lucky? Yes and no. Yes, because all students, regardless of color, race, creed or sexual orientation, are at the mercy of admission board criteria. Some make the cut and some do not. No, because the students who were admitted, Asian-American and otherwise, had whatever it was the admissions board was looking for. Because he did not, he dares to allege discrimination?
Since he cannot comprehend the subjectivity that factors into college admission, Li had the gall to unnecessarily racialize a personal defeat. Therein lies the absurdity and disrespect. To conflate his circumstance and argument with the real struggles that those before him, Asian-American and otherwise, suffered is reprehensible, and he should be ashamed of himself.

Jews, control Isreal, but not the "world". They do have undue influences on American policies from a large representation in the national media, politics and of course money management. This is out of proportion to their 2% of the American population.
The use of height and outward physical appearance of the applicant as factors in admissions is RACIST and SEXIST, but the adcoms of the Ivies still use them via hidden bullshit "soft factors" favoring rich affluent whites, who could not meet the high objective standards for admissions, resulting in "AA for rich whites". |

Almost as naive as assuming that blacks are necessarily poor and disavantaged.
"Whether we like it or not, the reality of the situation is that applicants are judged against whatever group or groups in which they fall."
In other words, the schools have different standards for different races, which is clearly racial discrimination.
If we don't like this (and we presumably don't), then we can oppose it instead of tolerating it, just as the Civil Rights Movement opposed similar discrimination in the 50's.
I've never heard such naked agitation for racial discrimination simply because it benefitted one's own group. Where is the shame? |

Date: November 20th, 2006 3:41 PM Author: tripping new version From Daniel Golden's The Price of Admission, chapter 7, "The New Jews, Asian Americans Need Not Apply":
Quote:
In 1990, federal investigators concluded that UCLA's graduate department in mathematics had discriminated against Asian applicants.
Quote:
......... most elite universities have maintained a triple standard in college admissions, setting the bar highest for Asians, next for whites, and lowest for blacks and Hispanics. According to a 2004 study by three Princeton researchers, an Asian American applicant needs to score 50 points higher on the SAT than other applicants just to have the same chance of admission to an elite university. (Being an alumni child, by contrast, confers a 160-point advantage.) Yale records show that entering Asian American freshmen averaged a 1493 SAT score in 1999-2000, 1496 in 2000-2001, and 1482 in 2001-2. For the same three years, the average for white freshmen was about 40 points lower. Black and Hispanic freshmen lagged another 100-125 points below whites. A Yale spokesman attributed the Asian-white gap to more whites being recruited athletes, and said Asians and whites are held to the same academic standards."
Quote:
Federal investigators also turned up stereotyping by Harvard admissions evaluators. Possibly reflecting a lack of cultural understanding, Harvard evaluators ranked Asian American candidates on average below whites in "personal qualities." In comments written in applicants' files, Harvard admissions staff repeatedly described Asian Americans as "being quiet/shy, science/math oriented, and hard workers," the report found. One reader summed up an Asian applicant this way: "He's quiet and, of course, wants to be a doctor."
Quote:
He [Princeton economist Uwe Reinhardt] added that the stereotype of the quiet Asian student is "really a strange notion. My Asian American students are very lively. They take leadership positions. They're not at all shy or reticent."
Quote:
Now as then, a lack of preferences can be a convenient guise for racism. Much as college administrators justified anti-Jewish policies with ethnic stereotypes -- one Yale dean in 1918 termed the typical Jewish student a "greasy grind" -- so Asians are typecast in college admissions offices as quasi-robots programmed by their parents to ace math and science tests. Asked why Vanderbilt poured resources into recruiting Jews instead of Asians, a former administator told me, "Asians are very good students, but they don't provide the kind of intellectual environment that Jewish students provide.
Similarly, MIT dean of admissions Marilee Jones rationalized the institute's rejection of Henry Park by resorting to stereotypes. Although she wasn't able to look up his application because records for his year had been destroyed, "it's possible that Henry Park looked like a thousand other Korean kids with the exact same profile of grades and activities and temperament," she emailed me in 2003. "My guess is that he just wasn't involved or interesting enough to surface to the top." She added that she could understand why a university would take a celebrity child, legacy, or development admit over "yet another textureless math grind." College administrators who made such remarks about black or Jewish students might soon find themselves higher education outcasts."
Quote:
Lenny [college counselor at Hunter College High School] acknowledged that the failure of college admissions staffs and high school counselors to probe below these superficial similarities and get to know Asian Ameican students as individuals may reflect unconscious racism. As a "white melting-pot woman" she said, it may be harder for her to communicate with Asian students than it would be for an Asian counselor. At the time of my visit, none of Hunter's counselors were Asian American."
...Hunter's mission is to find and educate New York City's most intellectually gifted students. ...... This system produces a student body that is nearly 40 percent Asian American, including many first-generation students.
From chapter 10, "Ending the Preferences of Privilege":
Quote:
Provide equal access for Asian American students and for international students who need financial aid. If elite colleges were truly committed to socioeconomic diversity, they would regard the proliferation of outstanding Asian American applicants as an opportunity, not a problem. They would rush to propel into the higher ranks of American society a group of students who not only boast outstanding test scores and grades but also are immigrants or immigrants' children from low- or middle-income familites that sacrificed in hope of a better life for the next generation. Asian American students also bring a variety of cultures, languages, and religions to stir the campus melting pot. Colleges should counter anti-Asian bias through sensitivity training sessions and hiring more Asian American admissions deans, directors, and staff.
In 1990, the federal Office for Civil Rights found that Asian Amercian students needed highter test scores than whites to be admitted to Harvard. But it bought Harvard's argument that preferences for legacies and athletes, who were mostly white, accounted for the gap, rather than race discrimination. Scaling back those preferences would deprive elite universities of excuses for setting a higher bar for Asian Americans and compel them to confront the question of racism.

The OCR consists of Ivy educated lawyers protecting the status quo. If so, Li would have at least brought the issue of anti-Asian bias to the national forefront and this will prompt more Asian Americans who feel that they were discriminated against to file more complaints and federal law suits in the the future. These law suits may be in the form of a class action suit, or "primae facie", requiring Princeton, and the Ivies/Elites to show the burden of proof against these charges, instead of the other way around.

|
Date: November 20th, 2006 6:49 PM Author: Orchid beady-eyed black woman dragon Academic competitiveness pre-college is determined by at least 2 things:
1) HS transcript
2) SAT I/II
And possibly, if the HS offers it,
3) AP/IB scores
College admission officers look at these 3 things to gauge how one will perform in college and whether they can handle the work. It seems fair.

Date: November 20th, 2006 7:16 PM Author: Lake stag film electric furnace Fair based on objective standard of academic performance.
The schools are trying to admit people who can thrive and handle a challenging academic environment.
Those admissions criteria do in fact correlate with success in school - that's why they're used.
Success in life? Certainly relates to intelligent / SAT / GPA.
How does citing one spoiled white guy help your case? Do you want to throw all standards out the window?
If you want to base admissions on other measures of ability/character, like military service, economic obstacles, interviews, fine. Just don't base it on race. |

Date: November 20th, 2006 7:44 PM Author: Burgundy base water buffalo If handling a challenging academic environment is a concern, I see few problems with setting a minimum SAT score and then selecting people above that score. It's not the case that every SAT point matters; consider, for one thing, the margin of error. Success in life is not directly proportional to any of those metrics. You've certainly heard of "overachievers" and "underachievers". (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=530263&forum_id=1#7036758) |
|
Date: November 20th, 2006 9:23 PM Author: Lake stag film electric furnace The problem with simply setting a minimum SAT score is that creates greater mediocrity in the class as a whole. 50-200 points may not matter in every individual case, but across broad groups, they do tend to reflect real differences.
If you want to look more at other measurements of academic ability, and factor in socioeconomics, that's fine. It just shouldn't be based on race. If urms want to get into top schools, they can prep for the SAT and study hard like everyone else. |

the use of soft factors is not a guarantee of success either, if you think it is better than the use grades and SAT scores. Where do you think all the movie actors graduated from? Hum? ignoramus? How many of them graduated from the Ivies start telling me the stats? Yeah, Matt Damon? he graduated from harvard right ? So what? I doubt Harvard helped him at all in his movie career? He could have graduated from another school and still be an actor . How was he admitted at harvard ? Are you going to claim to me it is because of his grades? Well Tom Hanks graduated from Cal State Sacramento, Kevin Costner graduated from Cal State Fullerton? did Di Caprio and Julia Roberts even need college to be in the movies? Sandra Bullock went to East Carolina University, Adrien Brody was a dropout at CUNY Queens, Denzel went to Fordham. Tony soprano and Callista Flockhart went to Rutgers, Matthew McConaughey, Renee Zellwegger, and the WIlson brothers went to UT- Austin. Not that I care about the movies, I don't. You can see however that you do not need to go to the Ivies to make millions of dollars. In the entertainment industry, the arts , music the Ivies hardly make that much of a dent. So any stupid claim here that soft factors are better than grades and sAT scores are just that , plain stupid. Did Tom Cruise study in Canada or was he a dropout from a school in Pittsburgh? |

White are a little more hairy, as they're more masculine than asians, who are all essentially women.
But asians clearly smell worse. Ever try to study in the engineering library?

Date: November 21st, 2006 4:01 AM Author: cyan state There is no such thing as the Chinese Miracle, Chinese development and rise to power took place very gradually, which means it is not a fluke like the European Expansion.
At the peak of Imperialism, European controlled over half of the world, but their influence rapidly receded, indicating that it was nothing but a fluke, and their dominance over the other races will likely to continue to fall to pre-European Miracle periods. |
