- Summary:
-
Amidst much controversy, the United States Department of Justice has filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court on behalf of the special minority admissions program at the University of California Medical School at Davis. This fact sheet is intended to show why Asian and Pacific Americans and those friendly toward Asians should pay careful attention to the government's position toward Asians as reflected in the Bakke case and beyond. The Justice Department's position in Bakke is of special concern to Asian and Pacific Americans because the government has become the first participant to challenge the participation of Asian Americans in a minority program. The government's brief says that Asian Americans have been admitted into medicine adequately without special admissions. It is noted that the Government brief contains misleading or irrelevant suggestions that Asian and Pacific Americans are too well off to suffer the effects of past discrimination. Furthermore, the brief fails to qualify its figures properly. If the arguments against Asians and Pacific Americans prevail, they will lose services in programs dealing with bilingual education, law enforcement, small business aid, higher education, and senior citizen programs.
