2018 Higher Education Highlights

Like the year before, 2018 has proven to be an important year for issues relating to diversity, equity and higher education. Most notably, this past year we witnessed up close a number of racial incidents on campus involving law enforcement being called on students and staff of color.

How Do We Persuade the New Asian Alt-Right?

I write to ask my progressive friends, especially those sympathetic to Asian Americans, to help me answer a question often asked by Asian American students about their Asian immigrant parents. More specifically, many students whose elders are Chinese immigrants — who may not identify as either “Asian” or “American,” much less “Asian American” — have given to me the most difficult query: how can they discuss race and civil rights at home, with family members who are, in their words, “racist” toward African Americans and Latinos.

This past week, I was moved by the memorial for the late Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien. The first Asian American to head a major research university, University of California Berkeley, which he led from 1990 to 1997, he was remembered again on the tenth anniversary of the naming of an East Asian Library in his honor.

We know Brett Kavanaugh was at the White House days before his hearing on the Dr. Christine Blasey Ford matter. He was prepping for senators’ questions like it was a final exam. And we all saw how he did. How would you grade him?

Stop Reducing International Students to Toddlers on Your Campuses

According to several studies, international students find it difficult to make trustworthy friends to talk to about personal problems, and are too shy to ask for clarifications and help when they need support. This can cause social alienation and segregation.

Poor in Rich Times: State Funding for Public Higher Education in California

In spring 2018, I woke up to an email announcing a proposed $61 million cut from the Governor’s Office to the California State University’s (CSU) 23-campus system’s requested budget for 2018-2019. I had long been baffled that a state so rich in resources – the sixth largest economy in the world – could be so poor when it came to supporting the single largest producer of the California’s workforce.

Harvard’s Asian Problem Does Not Justify the Blum Lawsuit

That lawsuit filed by White conservative Ed Blum using Asians as proxies to fight affirmative action may have revealed in discovery a complex and unique admissions process at Harvard. But using race to determine admissions is legal, and the suit doesn’t justify changing current law.
