Asian-American Groups Accuse Brown, Dartmouth, and Yale of Bias in Admissions
A long list of Asian-American groups plans on Monday to call for federal investigations of Brown University, Dartmouth College, and Yale University for alleged discrimination in admissions. The Asian American Coalition for Education, consisting of more than 100 local, state, and national Asian-American organizations, intends to ask the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights and the U.S. Justice Department to investigate the three institutions. Its letter of complaint to the two federal agencies also asks them to require colleges throughout the Ivy League to cease an array of admissions practices that, it argues, unlawfully discriminate against Asian-American applicants.
