ECAASU 2010: What it means to be APIA in America

Sat, 03/13/2010 - 20:57

Many students have spent these past few days in the library studying for midterms and writing papers, and although I shall now be joining them in doing so as well, I’ve spent these past few days at the East Coast Asian-American Student Union’s 2010 Conference and have come out with a greater understanding of what it means to be an Asian-American, of America, of the place of APIA’s in America, and of humanity as a whole.

UC Admissions "Scandal" of 2009!... Yo, let's not freak out... just yet (Part 1 of 6)

Fri, 02/13/2009 - 09:22
APAP's blog would like to welcome Spam Fried Rice to our blog team where she will be covering education issues. She starts off with a six-part series called, “UC Admissions Scandal of 2009! … Yo, let’s not freak out… just yet.” The series will appear over the next five days, starting today with Part I. APAP Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this entry are Spam Fried Rice's and do not necessarily reflect those of APAP. ***** I recently received this alarming email from the chair of the API Legislative Caucus…
Dear friends of the API community: Attached is the letter that all 11 members of the bipartisan, bicameral Joint Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus signed urging the University of California Board of Regents to postpone a vote that drastically changed UC admissions policies.  These changes negatively affect API applicants and will likely result in lower percentages of API students being admitted to UC campuses.  The Board of Regents unfortunately went ahead with the vote despite little public input and virtually no outreach to the API community.  THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. We intend to hold hearings and bring some sunshine to this unfortunate decision.  We will continue to fight this decision. Signed by the Chair of the API Legislative Caucus.
