DOJ: Harvard intentionally discriminates against Asians
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/11/21/har...icies.html
Quote:The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the use of race in Harvard University’s admissions practices and has accused the university of failing to cooperate with the probe, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The Justice Department is investigating complaints that formed the basis of a federal civil lawsuit filed in 2014 in Boston, according to the documents. That suit alleges Harvard intentionally discriminates against Asian-Americans by limiting the number of Asian students who are admitted.
The lawsuit, brought by a nonprofit called Students for Fair Admissions, said the practices violate federal civil-rights law and asks a federal judge to prohibit Harvard from using race as a factor in future undergraduate admissions decisions. The suit is pending.
The Justice Department, whose Civil Rights Division is conducting the investigation into similar allegations, said in a letter to Harvard’s lawyers, dated Nov. 17 and reviewed by the Journal, that the school was being investigated under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin for organizations that receive federal funding. The letter also said the school had failed to comply with a Nov. 2 deadline to provide documents related to the university’s admissions policies and practices.
The department told Harvard it “may file a lawsuit” to enforce compliance if Harvard doesn’t hand over the documents by a new deadline of Dec. 1, according to a separate letter dated Nov. 17 from John M. Gore, the acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division. The department wrote that the materials requested by the Justice Department have already been provided by Harvard to the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
The documents confirm the existence of an investigation that the Justice Department in August indicated it would pursue and suggest that Harvard has challenged the authority of the department’s Civil Rights Division to conduct it.

Why do liberals hate Asians? Oh, that's right, they single handily destroy a lot of social and economic myths against the evil white men that the libs like to promote.

RE: DOJ: Harvard intentionally discriminates against Asians
Liberals view asians as odd, serious little caucasians who work way too hard and are over represented in fields like medicine and engineering.
They also don't see how to buy them off as another brown person voting block. Its a conundrum. The struggle is real.
Harvard probably has an "oriental" box to check on its applications.

Ah yes, trotting out the 'ole model minority nonsense, as if it holds any serious weight to the discussion.

Caucasians people should change their last names from Mueller to Martinez so schools and employers can check the
"hispanic" box.

RE: DOJ: Harvard intentionally discriminates against Asians
This is going on in schools from the top all the way down to the school with 8 letter acronyms.
There was a story circulating a while back about an Indian kid who was rejected when he applied to medical schools but received huge scholarships the second he ticked the black box.
Clarence Tomas has been proven right again.
The end result is a second tier. There are Harvard Graduates and then there are black/latino Harvard Grads.
