快讯 |亚裔申诉哈佛新闻发布会获12家主流媒体报道
 5月15日下午一点，由多家华裔社团联合发起、针对哈佛大学亚裔入学歧视的申诉活动在国家新闻俱乐部召开新闻发布会。以华裔为主体的组织者向到会的近20家中外媒体陈述了申诉理由，宣读了同时向美国教育部、美国司法部提交的申诉文件（点击此处获得申诉文件）。 来自加州橙郡选区的国会议员Dana Rohrabacher先生亲自出席会议，并发表声援讲话。会议现场气氛热烈，组织者与媒体沟通频繁，不乏精彩的提问和回答。华府地区社团领袖如美国华人全国委员会主席薛海培、80-20组织DC Chapter副主席戴挺、资深侨领叶玉彬、及启明星中文学校校长张育坚先生等出席，表示了支持。加州参议员共和党领袖Bob Huff于5月14日发表声明（点击此处获得声明），支持这一申诉活动。 申诉活动本身也受到了质疑。美国民权委员会（U.S. Commission on Civil Rights）于15日早晨发表声明，从平权法案（Affirmative Action）的角度对申诉活动表达了异议。亚裔社区颇具影响力的公益组织“亚裔推动公正组织”（Asian Americans Advancing Justice）也于当日发表相关文件，对申诉活动提出了质疑。两家组织均派员亲临现场对申诉活动组织者提出了问题，组织者对问题的回答得到现场听众热烈的掌声。 据悉，这是亚裔（华裔）第一次以全国性规模的组织形式正式督促美国联邦政府及美国社会重视滕校招生歧视亚裔的问题。至截稿为止，已有12家英文主流媒体报道了这一申诉活动。
