The Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights is investigating a complaint that Harvard and Princeton universities discriminates against Asian-Americans.

The investigation began with a complaint from an Indian-American student in California who was near the top of his high school class but was rejected at both schools.

The civil rights agency doesn’t discuss the substance of pending cases, so there’s no telling what evidence the Indian-American family might have to support a discrimination claim. Mere rejection - - by either Harvard or Princeton - - likely would not suffice, as both schools routinely reject students with perfect SAT scores and grade-point averages.

A Harvard spokesman told reporter Golden the institution does not discriminate. Asian-Americans make up 16 percent of Harvard undergraduates.

Asian-American students have challenged Ivy League admission policies before.

Jian Li, a Chinese American, filed a civil rights complaint after Princeton rejected him in 2006. He’d scored a perfect 2400 on the SAT and graduated in the top 1 percent of his class, yet had been rejected at several Ivies.

Golden reports that the agency received a fresh complaint in September targeting Yale, subsequently withdrawn.

It’s questionable, though, whether any student could prove discrimination by those schools without access to stacks of admission data.

Harvard’s admission rate has dipped to 6.2 percent, and Yale and Princeton aren’t far behind. There is simply no guarantee of admission, no matter one’s credentials.

There’s plenty of research to suggest, though, that Asian-American applicants must bring higher test scores and GPAs than whites, Hispanics or Blacks to gain entry.

Golden cites a 2011 study of admissions at Duke: Asian-American enrollees scored 1457 on the reading and math sections of the SAT, compared to 1416 for whites, 1347 for Hispanics and 1275 for Blacks.

據報道，美國教育部民權辦公室針對哈佛大學和普林斯頓大學在本科招生時歧視亞裔的投訴已展開調查。

調查始自一名來自加州的印度裔美國學生的投訴，該學生是某高中的優等生，但同時遭到兩所學校的拒絕。

美國教育部民權辦公室并未討論這樁待決案件的實質內容，因此這個印裔家庭支持歧視投訴的證據不得而知。如果僅僅是遭到學校拒絕，不管是哈佛還是普林斯頓，似乎不足以支持起訴，因為兩所學校經常會拒絕SAT滿分和GPA高分學生。

哈佛大學的一位發言人告訴記者戈登，哈佛大學并沒有歧視亞裔申請人。亞裔學生占到了哈佛本科生的16%。

此前亞裔學生也曾挑戰過常春藤盟校的招生政策。

在2006年遭到普林斯頓拒絕后，華裔美國人李建（音）曾提起民事權利申訴。他在SAT考試中取得2400分滿分，畢業時成績排在全班前1%，但仍被多所常春藤盟校拒絕。

戈登報道說，民權辦公室去年9月曾收到過一起針對耶魯大學的投訴，但隨后投訴被撤銷。

但值得懷疑的是，是不是所有學生都能在無法接觸到大量入學申請數據的情況下證明自己遭到了歧視。

哈佛大學的錄取率已經降至6.2%，耶魯大學和普林斯頓也高不出多少。沒有什么能保證學生被錄取，不管他有什么證書。

但大量調查表明，亞裔美國申請人的考試成績、GPA分數要比歐美裔、西班牙裔和非裔高，才能被錄取。

戈登引述了2011年杜克大學的一項入學調查，亞裔美國入學者SAT考試的閱讀和數學成績平均為1457分，而歐美裔為1416分，西班牙裔1347分，非裔1275分。
