MIT
Arthur Hu '80 has filed a formal complaint with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights against the University of California at Berkeley for discriminating against Asian-Americans. Hu, an activist against affirmative action in university admissions, charged the school with using "quotas and differential admissions standards" to turn away Asian-American students in order to implement affirmative action.
Because schools would rather not reduce the number of white students, he said, and because they have a limited number of spaces in each class, they turn away qualified Asian-Americans to make room for underrepresented minorities.
Many Asian-Americans in the MIT community oppose Hu. "Affirmative action does not have to conflict with the `merit-based' plans touted by its opponents," said Vivian Wu, a research fellow with the Community Fellows Program in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning. The solution lies in increasing student enrollment across all racial groups, she stressed. Moreover, Asian-Americans have benefited from affirmative action, according to Wu, who is also a member of the newly formed Asian-American Caucus at MIT.[5]
