哈佛大学招生政策
SACRAMENTO,CA－APAPA 作為一個擁有來自各種背景成員的亞太裔美國人的組織，反對任何形式的歧視，堅信並接受多元文化的概念。
哈佛大學的招生錄取政策令人不安，因為此錄取政策對一些亞太裔美國人群體似乎具有歧視。具體來說，這個錄取政策看上去對招收華裔美國人特意設置了更高的標准。
APAPA可以理解和接受旨在促進多元化的招生政策。同時APAPA也認可為所有學生提供多元化學習環境的教育價值。然而，入學的標准必須要有明確的定義和解釋並公開，且不可以使用針對任何特定群體的配額制度。此外，任何多元化政策應惠及所有那些沒有被充分代表的族裔，其中包括一些亞太裔美國人。
我們國家的強大實力來源於多元化，而多元化是通過接受來自世界各個角落的移民而形成的。對我們國家來說，最糟糕的情形莫過於不能做到一視同仁。在保持多元化的同時，不應該忽視对成績優異族群的歧視。 這兩者之間有著微妙的差異。
我們敦促哈佛大學和所有大學清楚地解釋他們的招生政策並發布相關數據。對招生政策的公眾評估和審查及其結果可以緩解某些群體中的不信任情緒和對種族歧視的擔心。APAPA願意有機會與您合作一起制定一個公平並公開的錄取程序來實現您的教育目標，包括沒有種族配額嫌疑的多元化。
APAPA是一個非營利，無黨派傾向的基層組織。它致力於通過教育，在民間及公共事務中的積極參與和領導，來促進亞太裔美國人的進步。

Harvard Admissions Policy Statement
March 26, 2015
SACRAMENTO, CA – As an Asian and Pacific Islander American organization with diverse members from all backgrounds, APAPA opposes discrimination in any shape or form, but we fully embrace the concept of diversity.
The admission policy of Harvard University is troubling because it appears that the policy is discriminatory toward certain Asian and Pacific Islander American groups. Specifically, it appears that the bars are set higher for Chinese Americans.
APAPA can understand and accept admission policies designed to promote diversity. APAPA further acknowledges the educational value of a diverse learning environment for all students. However, the parameters for admission must be clearly defined, delineated and open, without the use of a quota system for any specific group. Additionally, any diversity policies should benefit all under-represented ethnic groups, including certain Asian and Pacific Islander Americans.
Our country derives her strength through diversity by accepting immigrants from all corners of the world. Simultaneously, we are at our worst when we discriminate. There is a fine line separating embracing diversity and discrimination against admission of ethnic groups who traditionally perform at a higher level in academics.
We urge Harvard and all universities to clearly explain their admission policies and publish relevant data. Public review and scrutiny of policy and outcome can alleviate mistrust and fear of racial discrimination among certain groups. APAPA welcomes the opportunity to work with you to formulate a fair and open admission process to achieve your educational goals, including diversity, without suspicion of racial quota.
APAPA is a non-profit, non-partisan and grassroots organization. Its mission is to promote the advancement of Asian and Pacific Islander (API) Americans through education, active participation, and leadership in civic and public affairs.
