[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what fraction of the people who do the interviewing of potential students at Harvard/Yale are Asian-Americans?  In my field (which is stem), I have strongly noticed interview result in hiring of people that remind the interviewee of themselves when they were young. To get fair admissions for asians, to have people who can easily see their multi-dimensionality, we need to have Asian interviewers and a strong representation of asians on the admissions committee.[/quote]

Start donating money to schools, then. [/quote]
Another lame excuse to try to justify the discrimination against Asians. 
Just google it, the recent major donations to Harvard and Yale are all from Chinese descendants. If I remembered correctly one of is the largest amount donation in school history. 
Of course if this excuse fails people will move on to next one to justify their discrimination.[/quote]

If the plaintiffs are US residents suing, I don't have a problem with it.  If they're overseas Asians (many of whom come from well-connected families in China, Hong Kong, etc. are are trying to buy their way in or are submitting "composite" applications" on behalf of their  DS or DD), I say, "enough!"  Our universities already have tons of foreign students.  Some foreign student representation is good, but it's gotten way out of kilter.  U.S. taxpayer funding has built a lot of labs and programs on American college and university campuses, and these institutions have a responsibility to ensure that U.S. citizens get a reciprocally strong share of the student places.  American taxpayers should not be spending money to educate the elite of China.  [/quote]

But international students pay full freight, so schools happily sell them the name brand product, take their money, and apply it to scholarships for underrepresented minorities.  An odd business.[/quote]
