Posted by Sam Jackson as張貼薩姆傑克遜 Admissions 招生
I got an e-mail from Jian Li last week who found my site and was happy to see I hadn’t randomly trashed him after reading his story.我得到一個電子郵件從李劍上週,他們找到了我的網站,並很高興地看到,我並沒有隨機走進兩家烈酒店後,他讀他的故事。 I was careful about how I interpreted what I read about his case because it did seem like we weren’t getting a lot of the important facts, and lo and behold the subject of those stories writes in and confirms my suspicions there.我小心我如何解釋,我看過他的案件,因為它看起來的確,我們沒有得到很多重要的事實,你瞧主題的這些故事寫,並證實我的懷疑。 It was an interesting note which I have here reproduced.這是一個有趣的說明,我這裡有轉載。
Be sure to have a look at the two stories I wrote about him and his complaint back in November 2006:一定要看看這兩個故事,我寫了關於他和他的投訴,早在2006年11月:

Hey Sam.嘿山姆。 I read your first blog entry about me.我看了你的第一個博客進入我。 It raises the issue of subjective admissions criteria, and you’ve written, “I can see a plausible concern in general, but not one stemming from his case alone.”它引出的問題是主觀的入學資格,而且你寫, "我看到了一個看似有理的關注,一般而言,卻沒有一個源自他的案件,僅" 。
I actually wholeheartedly agree with you on that point!其實,我完全同意你關於這一點!
A reader might be under the unfortunate and incorrect impression that I had deduced admissions discrimination as a result of my case alone.讀者可能會下不幸和不正確給我的印象是,推導出了招生歧視由於我的案子。 Such a deduction would not only be egotistical but misinformed - colleges regularly reject non-Asian applicants with perfect SATs.這樣的扣將不僅egotistical但錯誤-高校定期拒絕非亞裔申請者是否符合完善工地驗收。 Rather, I came to the conclusion of discrimination before I even applied to college, while I was reading the Espenshade study (相反,我得出的結論是歧視前,我什至適用於大學生,我雖然是讀espenshade研究報告( link鏈接 ). ) 。 I filed this complaint not because I thought I deserved to be admitted to Princeton (I actually think they may very well have rejected to me had I applied as a white student), but because I felt that applicants deserve to be evaluated without regard to race. i提起這方面的投訴,不是因為我認為我應該得到承認,以美國普林斯頓(事實上,我認為他們很可能已拒絕了,我如果我的應用作為一個白人學生) ,但因為我覺得申請人值得加以評價不分種族。
Because Dan Golden only wrote about my SATs, a reader such as yourself may also be under the unfortunate and incorrect impression that I think scores should be the sole basis for admission and that I had nothing beyond my scores.由於丹金只寫我在SATS ,讀者如自己也可根據不幸和不正確印象,我認為分數應該是唯一的依據入學和我無關,以後我的考試成績。 On the contrary, I think that it is very important for colleges to look at things與此相反,我認為這是非常重要的學院,以看事物
beyond SATs such as leadership (though, as the history of Jewish admissions suggests, we must not let fuzzy criteria be an occasion for discrimination).以後在SATS如領導(不過,作為歷史上的猶太人招生表明,我們必須不要讓模糊的標準將是一個機會,為歧視) 。 I i
think my extracurriculars were pretty good – my complaint listed state-wide rankings in math and physics competitions, 168 hours of community service想我的extracurriculars不錯-我的申訴列全州排名,在數學和物理競賽,有1 68個小時的社區服務
during a trip to Costa Rica paid for by a merit scholarship, captaining my high school’s high-ranking academic team, etc. – but again, the rejection of在訪問哥斯達黎加支付由一個優異獎學金,戴上隊長袖標,我高中的高級學術團隊,等等-但是,同樣,排斥
someone of my personal qualifications would not prove discrimination, since colleges regularly reject highly-qualified non-Asian applicants.有人對我個人的資歷,將不能證明歧視,因為高校定期拒絕高度稱職的非亞裔申請者。 However, the然而,
Espenshade study does prove discrimination, as does the increased enrollment of Asian-Americans at UC Berkeley after the passage of Proposition 209. espenshade研究並證明歧視,因為是否增加招生的亞裔美國人,在加州大學伯克利分校獲得通過後,命題209 。Thanks for reading this感謝閱讀本

Thanks again for writing in to help clarify that confusion surrounding the complaint, and for letting me publish the e-mail on the blog.再次感謝為寫作,以幫助澄清混亂,圍繞投訴,並讓我公佈電子信箱就博客。 Hopefully some of my visitors will read through and get a better sense of things, maybe spread the word a bit… the media didn’t do very much worthwhile digging the first time around, I don’t think, which is too bad.但願我的一些遊客會讀通過,並得到較好的意義上的東西,也許蔓延字有點…媒體沒有這樣做,很值得挖掘的第一時間靠近,我不認為,這是很糟糕。
