Every “plus” on one student’s college application translates to a “minus” on another student’s application. In the process of boosting the applications of so-called “underrepresented minorities,” admissions offices routinely penalize Asian-American applicants, dismissing their diligence and hard work as a “lack of personality.” How did the widespread discrimination against Asian-American students arise in American higher education? Why has the plight of these minority students been so disregarded by progressives?
Join us on Tuesday, March 28, at 2 pm ET for the sixth webinar in our Race in Higher Education webinar series, “Anti-Asian Discrimination in College Admissions.”
This event will feature Wai Wah Chin, adjunct fellow at the Manhattan Institute and founding president of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York; Lance Izumi, Koret Senior Fellow and Senior Director of Education Studies at the Pacific Research Institute and author; and Devon Westhill, Senior Counsel at the Center for Equal Opportunity.
This event will be moderated by Wenyuan Wu, Executive Director of Californians for Equal Rights Foundation and columnist for Minding the Campus.
