WASHINGTON Uomo Donne Nike Air Max 97 Scarpe Summit White A poco Prezzo , Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Admission policies employed bymost U.S. universities, in which skin color plays a major role,have put Asians at a disadvantage, a U.S. legal expert hassaid.


"The use of race in various ways is a standard part of howuniversity administrators are brought up to believe their job isdone," Ilya Shapiro, a senior fellow at the U.S.-based think tankCato Institute, told Xinhua on Tuesday.


Including race as an impact factor when evaluating an applicantfor a job or admission to a program is rooted in the concept ofaffirmative action Uomo Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Scarpe Bianche Scontate , when first appeared in the United States in the1960s to combat racial discrimination.


The Supreme Court supported the notion that race can be a factorto "increase diversity" in a ruling in the late 1970s, changing themain goal of affirmative action from promoting racial justice toguaranteeing racial diversity in institutions.


But decades later, this ruling began to show serious sideeffects, as the line between upholding racial diversity and racialdiscrimination started to blur, and certain racial groups,primarily Asians and Asian Americans, began to feel at adisadvantage.


"Even though Asians and Asian Americans represent the largestgrowing group of college applicants Uomo Nike Air Max 97 Scarpe Nere Sconto , their numbers at the selectiveinstitutions remain as they were 20, 25 years ago, so there is acertain disconnect," Shapiro said.


"Studies by Princeton University show that it's not the thumb onthe scales, it's a brick," said Shapiro, who is also theeditor-in-chief of the Cato Supreme Court Review.


"I think oftentimes university administrators might have astereotype of Asians as being one-dimensional Scarpe Nike Air Max 97 Undefeated Verde In Offerta , perhaps just beinginterested in math and science, that's definitely a form ofracism," Shapiro said.


Furthermore, the more prestigious the university, the bigger thedifferences in academic qualifications by racial groups appear,Shapiro said, pointing to Ivy League universities includingHarvard.


"People in the lowest 25 percent in academic achievement at agiven institution are racial minorities Scarpe Nike Air Max 97 Undefeated Nere Scontate , generally Latinos, blacks,and native Americans," Shapiro said.


The unfair practice does not only hurt Asians and AsianAmericans, but also those who are given preferred treatment,Shapiro said.


"They end up in a place oftentimes where the work is moreadvanced and they end up switching into easier majors and theydon't do as well on the bar exam or the medical licensing exams,"he said.


Due to these unfair policies Scarpe Nike Air Max 97 Undefeated Bianche Saldi , several universities, includingHarvard, University of Texas and University of North Carolina atChapel Hill, have been sued over allegations that theydiscriminated against certain racial groups.


Shapiro said it may take at least three years before the casearrives before the Supreme Court for a final ruling, but theDepartment of Justice has recently announced that it has launched aprobe into whether universities broke the law with their admissionpolicies.


"Educational administrators have proven again and again thatthey're not simply using race as one factor, it's an overwhelmingfactor in so many cases and they are not being transparent,"Shapiro said.


He said U.S. universities should not use race as a factor duringadmission at all. "People should be judged on their merits air max 90 bianche offerte , by thecontent of their character, not the color of their skin, as Dr.Martin Luther King said."


"It's good to have people with different perspectives but Idon't think skin color or an artificially designated race is a goodway of doing that," he added.


In addition, U.S. universities should be more transparent intheir admission processes, because in theory then they should beable to demonstrate that they're following the law, Shapiro said.Enditem
