[quote=Anonymous]Wasn't this "lawsuit" your threatening a 2012 DOE complaint about TJ admissions, and the under-representation of AAs and Hispanics at TJ?  And it touched on AA/Hispanic AAP admissions, since AAP Centers are the TJ pipeline?

My understanding is that TJ agreed to move to "holistic" admissions and do more outreach & this complaint died a quiet death. Is it still active?  And that Asian advocacy groups got upset with TJ holistic admissions, and claiming that they discriminate against Asians. Is something else going on?

Maybe I'm too cynical, but even if this complaint were active, I doubt it would apply.  The complaint is about under representation of AAs and Hispanics (protected class).  In most cases, parents railing against AAP are white and/or Asian. So not covered by this complaint or a protected class under the law.

FWIW- I agree that AAP/TJ need to get their act together on AAP, and by extension, TJ recruitment, identification & admissions. This year's TJ numbers were terrible.

But are the anti-AAP Pearl clutchers on here AA/ Hispanic?  If so-- yep-- there is an issue.   If not, no there isn't a potential class action out there that will right the perceived AAP wrongs. [/quote]
