Civic Leadership Forum Silicon Valley – What’s next for Asian Americans after universities discriminate against us?

On October 9 th, Ding Ding TV, US-China Chamber of Commerce Silicon Valley & SVCA Foundation held Civic Leadership Forum Silicon Valley. The topic of the forum was “What is the next for Asian Americans after universities discriminate against us?”

During the COVID era for the past three years, there is a huge impact of student’s learning mode in their academic and extracurricular activities, as well as the college admissions. Despite the major win over the Harvard lawsuits for the admission against well qualified Asian American applicants, what are our next steps? If we ever face this situation or dilemma again how should we act or respond? We all know the discrimination from Harvard is simply a fact , if they still adopt the so called affirmative action method to evaluate the qualified applicants, how should we as parents or students reason?

What is SEL/ Social Emotional Learning? Will this change the admission process? Have you ever heard of the personality index?
