https://apnews.com/e97f08eb935989840bda430bb7a32e15?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter A Justice Department investigation has found Yale University is illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants, in violation of federal civil rights law, officials said Thursday. Yale denied the allegation, calling it “meritless” and “hasty.” The findings detailed in a letter to the college’s attorneys Thursday mark the latest action by the Trump administration aimed at rooting out discrimination in the college application process, following complaints from students about the application process at some Ivy League colleges. The Justice Department had previously filed court papers siding with Asian American groups who had levied similar allegations against Harvard University. The two-year investigation concluded that Yale “rejects scores of Asian American and white applicants each year based on their race, whom it otherwise would admit,” the Justice Department said. The investigation stemmed from a 2016 complaint against Yale, Brown and Dartmouth. “Yale’s race discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, including in particular Asian American and White applicants,” Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband, who heads the department’s civil rights division, wrote in a letter to the college’s attorneys. Prosecutors found that Yale has been discriminating against applicants to its undergraduate program based on their race and national origin and “that race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year.” The investigation concluded that Asian American and white students have “only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials,” the Justice Department said. “Unlawfully dividing Americans into racial and ethnic blocs fosters stereotypes, bitterness, and division,” Dreiband said in a statement. “It is past time for American institutions to recognize that all people should be treated with decency and respect and without unlawful regard to the color of their skin.” The investigation also found that Yale uses race as a factor in multiple steps of the admissions process and that Yale “racially balances its classes.” The Supreme Court has ruled colleges and universities may consider race in admissions decisions but has said that must be done in a narrowly tailored way to promote diversity and should be limited in time. Schools also bear the burden of showing why their consideration of race is appropriate. In a statement, Yale said it “categorically denies this allegation,” has cooperated fully with the investigation and has been continually turning over “a substantial amount of information and data.” “Given our commitment to complying with federal law, we are dismayed that the DOJ has made its determination before allowing Yale to provide all the information the Department has requested thus far,” the university said in a statement. “Had the Department fully received and fairly weighed this information, it would have concluded that Yale’s practices absolutely comply with decades of Supreme Court precedent.” The university said it considers a multitude of factors and looks at “the whole person when selecting whom to admit among the many thousands of highly qualified applicants.” “We are proud of Yale’s admissions practices, and we will not change them on the basis of such a meritless, hasty accusation,” the statement said. The Justice Department has demanded that Yale immediately stop and agree not to use race or national origin for upcoming admissions. The government also says that if Yale proposes that it will continue to use race or national origin as a factor in future admission cycles, the college must first submit a plan to the Justice Department “demonstrating its proposal is narrowly tailored as required by law, including by identifying a date for the end of race discrimination.” The Justice Department has also previously raised similar concerns about Harvard University, which prosecutors accused of “engaging in outright racial balancing,” siding with Asian American students in a lawsuit who allege the Ivy League school discriminated against them. A federal judge in 2019 cleared Harvard of discriminating against Asian American applicants in a ruling that was seen as a major victory for supporters of affirmative action in college admissions across the U.S. That ruling has been appealed and arguments are scheduled for next month. In the Harvard case, the Justice Department had argued that the university went too far in its use of race, but the judge disagreed. Though the Supreme Court has ruled that colleges’ use of race in admissions must be “narrowly tailored” and can be only a “plus factor,” past rulings still give colleges wide latitude in considering a wide range of factors, including race, as they build their classes.
The findings detailed in a letter to the college’s attorneys Thursday mark the latest action by the Trump administration. 希望trump可以提名更多的保守派大法官 yi_not 发表于 2020-08-13 17:27
回复 1楼默雨润苗的帖子 The investigation concluded that Asian American and white students have “only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials 只有AA机会的 1/10 - 1/4 ，不用问亚裔肯定是靠1/10这边的呀
别低估人的底线。 Senator Kamala Harris has said that she is “open” to increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court, in order to reverse the conservative majority (as she sees it) and pave the way for the progressive agenda.
In his letter to Yale, Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband puts it this way: “Asian American and White applicants have only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials.” In his press release he added: “There is no such thing as a nice form of race discrimination.” --- 所以这一次是因为和白人放在一起argue才赢的吗？去年harvard的case是因为没有吗？有同学了解细节吗？？

This position and the implied threat behind it deserve a lot more attention than they’ve gotten. fufusix 发表于 2020-08-14 08:23

任何扩大至政党攻击，群体攻击等，都会被处理，也会导致新闻被移除。谢谢！
Trump administration也支持哈佛案子上诉
这和法官有关系吗？ 这不是司法部的调查结论吗？耶鲁不服上诉，如果法官判定耶鲁败诉，那才可以说保守法官什么的吧？
不是都明说了 AA 吗，AA 的本质不就是 affirmative 吗，如果看 comparable academic achievement 还有什么 affirmative 可言，这有什么可不承认的。。。。。
Yale 想说自己又comparable又affirmative 吗？
这刚刚司法部调查，还没打官司没上法院呢。跟法官有个毛关系？
Why not?
不就是whine吗？豁出脸皮谁都会干
美国现在这状态就是爱哭的孩子有奶吃
就是啊，真是莫名其妙，不知道前面38个给那个人点赞的看没看新闻。 还是真看不懂英文？
有控评的，真不是空穴来风。
版主，这有人群体攻击
法官当然很重要，别忘了判哈佛案的法官是谁提名的
I didn't see any problem. It's a great great news to Asian students.
关系太大了。没有保守派法官坐镇，耶鲁根本不用把DOJ的结论放眼里
这不是废话吗？官司打到高院了，保守派法官的比例当然重要了，所以，你的point是？
就别往回找了，那个人明明就是没读明白咋回事。。。。。
哎
可惜这是事实
你才是可笑的那个吧，少在这秀什么优越感，这对华人绝对是好事，你别spin不过来开始攻击别人
太好了，强烈支持！ 希望这次 DOJ 能多曝光这些虚伪的左左，还给亚裔一个公平的环境！
ivy招生标准的确很扑朔迷离，但是那些进步黄左和白左不是招生标准的锅，而是美国教育本身出了问题。 师资严重失调是最根本的原因，保守派教师不到10%，45%+的温和派，45%的激进派。而这些毕业生里一部分，再回到ivy做教育工作，继续影响下一批学生。 因为师资原因，教育理念也变了。高等教育是什么，为什么，本来应该是众说纷纭的话题，而现在要统一思想，一切服从政治正确。稍不同意，就会被清理出去，前些日子的种种例子就是佐证。 最后就是政治影响，公权力本来和非盈利组织是泾渭分明的，现在，高校变得越来越政治化，公权力也不断利用高校。老师不是instructing，而是indoctrinating。学生不是informed，而是influenced。 一言以蔽之，诸神黄昏不远。
Obama那八年搞的，克林顿小布什的时候都可以随便聊，左右碰撞辩论，大学里百花齐放，然后Obama要把所有孩子送去上大学，给他们贷款，挺好的想法，但是大部分上工科毕不了业就去学社科，造成了十年来的社会学科扩大招生，大学扩招学生教授往社科里塞，社会学科研究啥是哪个派的就不用多说了，trump一上台，击鼓传花音乐停了，弊端就显出来了。 简而言之：和学问无关，都是为了钱和权。
现在司法部还没有告yale，但已经警告他们了，让他们20-21招生注意。如果还犯估计要告他们了。
司法部总算说实话了，亚裔和白人在大学招生中受到了歧视。有希望了。
这次新冠估计一小撮学校会倒闭，裁员会更多。其实是好事。好像野火烧一遍，重新长出来的植物都是生机盎然。
The investigation concluded that Asian American and white students have “only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials
只有AA机会的 1/10 - 1/4 ，不用问亚裔肯定是靠1/10这边的呀
所以DOJ的很重要，如果是民主党的政府恐怕这个报告都看不到了！
看上去像是个左派法官
这些人也真是的，若都从自己的感觉好恶来判，那要法律干什么
当然，即使bill全票通过也可以告它违宪。
里面提到哈佛的案子被法官否了，不需要猜都知道是个支持AA的liberal法官，现在要上诉法官立场当然重要
强re！
对，支持按法律条文来判案的法官
我们都知道，你这种ccp支持者，一般也都是支持aa的
别低估人的底线。 Senator Kamala Harris has said that she is “open” to increasing the number of justices on the Supreme Court, in order to reverse the conservative majority (as she sees it) and pave the way for the progressive agenda.
Harris 已经在说她会增加大法官人数了。
--- 所以这一次是因为和白人放在一起argue才赢的吗？去年harvard的case是因为没有吗？有同学了解细节吗？？
因为白人也一直在告 AA歧视，光打到最高法院的官司就有好几起了。
但是这次的case还是因为asian american group弄起来的，所以我猜想是这次联合了白人？或者是用了他们的数据一起？
上次harvard我没有仔细读。。。不知道是不是类死的argeument, 至少我读过的，上次harvard好象没有提到白人同样遭受不公问题
很久以前60 分钟的报道. 现在的政治大气候下, 媒体已经不可能公正报道AA了。RIP, 老一代的媒体人。We miss you so much！

Thanks so... much for sharing. I wish more of us will watch this.
牛 服了
很多奥巴马时期遗留的烂事需要修正，希望川普政府再接再厉
事实就是亚裔和白人都被歧视了，从数据看，亚裔被歧视最厉害。提出所有被歧视的族裔没什么问题。
谢分享，支持方反对方都有说话的机会，都很理性，这才是最重要的。现在这环境，根本不准说话了。
在这个不准正常人发声的大环境下，有这样的舆论就相当不错了，至少给那些极左的学校敲个警钟，他们会少一点肆无忌惮
谢谢分享，现在的媒体根本不会去调查和报道这种现象，不光无视还会去帮着cover up
好消息，看到了反 AA 的进展，赞
Thanks for sharing! 那个年代有能说敢说的人，而且正方反方都可以说。
