哈佛招生设置种族配额? 美国司法部将展开调查
Harvard was hit by a complaint alleging the university discriminates against Asian-American applicants by setting a higher bar for admissions than that faced other groups. The US Justice Department has vowed to examine Harvard's admissions process. Department spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores said at the time that the investigation will focus on a single complaint filed in 2015 by 64 Asian-American groups that alleges Harvard unfairly denied admission to qualified Asian-American applicants. Harvard has repeatedly and emphatically denied allegations that it uses racial quotas in its admissions process. Robert Iuliano, Harvard's general counsel, said the school's admissions policies are "fully compliant with the law." Harvard's class of 2021 is 14.6 percent African-American, 22.2 percent Asian-American, 11.6 percent Hispanic and 2.5 percent Native American or Pacific Islander, according to data on the university's website. "To become leaders in our diverse society, students must have the ability to work with people from different backgrounds, life experiences and perspectives. Harvard remains committed to enrolling diverse classes of students," Harvard spokesperson Rachael Dane said. "Harvard's admissions process considers each applicant as a whole person, and we review many factors, consistent with the legal standards established by the U.S. Supreme Court." |
