    Extractions: This month, most media coverage and collective thoughts will center on the one year anniversary of 9/11, the lives lost, and dear friends and families affected. At the same time, post 9/11 has brought civil rights to the forefront as more and more communities' civil rights are restricted by legislation such as the Patriot Act. But even before, the API communities civil rights have always been severely impacted. From the Dr. Wen Ho Lee's espionage charge to the threat of job loss for Filipino airport screeners, each case has revealed the constant struggle facing Asian Americans to protect civil rights that are often narrowed out of national security concerns and nationalistic tendencies. This month's TT looks at the state of Asian American civil rights in the post 9/11 era. Speakers include: Victor Hwang

    Extractions: Berkeley UC Berkeley's ban on summer students from SARS-afflicted areas in Asia drew criticism from a Chinese American civil rights group Tuesday, while other campuses considered whether to impose more stringent measures to avert the virus. Berkeley announced Friday it was barring hundreds of students from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore who had planned to take classes this summer. The action, believed to be the first for a U.S. university, made international headlines. The campus removed Singapore from the list Tuesday because the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention removed its travel advisory for Singapore on Tuesday, said Associate Chancellor John Cummins. Only a small number of students from Singapore are enrolled, so the total affected from the other three regions still exceeds 400, he said. The campus list of areas whose students are barred corresponds to the "advisory" list of regions to which the CDC recommends that nonessential travel be deferred. In response, the executive director of San Francisco-based Chinese for Affirmative Action, Diane Chin, said the Berkeley policy "excludes people from educational opportunities based only on their country of origin without any possible exceptions made for individual circumstances."

    Extractions: Karen Narasaki As President and Executive Director of the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium (NAPALC), Karen Narasaki is one of the nation's most effective advocates for Asian Pacific Americans and other minority group members. Her compelling life story demonstrates how affirmative action programs are needed even for the so-called "model minorities." Karen Narasaki's commitment to the ongoing struggle for civil rights for the nation's Asian Pacific Americans is rooted in a long history of discrimination. Years before her birth in 1958 in Seattle, her father and his family were interned in World War II because of their Japanese descent. Her father, a third-generation Japanese-American, born in California, went on to serve valiantly with the famed 442nd Battalion in the later stages of the war. Although he was a successful engineer with Boeing, he was unable to make a home for his family in Seattle's middle and upper class areas, because of property covenants that restricted Asian Pacific Americans and other minorities from living in those neighborhoods. As a result, he moved the family to a blue-collar suburb, where young Karen attended under-resourced public schools. Few of her classmates attended college, and the Ivy League schools that her father wished Karen to attend did not send recruiters to her high school.

    For Immediate Release Posted 6/23/03. ASIAN AMERICAN civil rights GROUP APPLAUDSUS SUPREME COURT DECISION TO UPHOLD RACECONSCIOUS AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAMS.  
    http://www.aaja.org/html/news_html/community_html/community_030623.html
    
    Extractions: Posted 6/23/03 New York, NY - The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), a New York-based civil rights organization, praised today's United States Supreme Court decision in Grutter v. Bollinger, which upheld the race-conscious affirmative action policy of Michigan Law School. "This decision is a great victory for civil rights," said AALDEF Executive Director Margaret Fung. "Although the Court rejected the particular program adopted by the University of Michigan in Gratz v. Bollinger, it recognized that affirmative action is an important tool to promote equal opportunity and racial diversity in higher education." "One misconception about affirmative action is that Asians and South Asians are not under-represented in academic institutions, do not face discrimination and have no need for programs that take into account a wide range of factors that circumscribe opportunity," said Chandra Bhatnagar, AALDEF staff attorney and Director of the South Asian Workers'' Project for Human Rights. He cited a recent national survey which found that 13% of Asian/South Asian females, 4.5 times the rate for white females, completed only an 8th grade education or less. In fact, Asians are underrepresented in numerous fields, such as history (2.2%), sociology (2.2%), English/literature (2.1%), philosophy (1.8%), education (1.6%), psychology (1.4%), political science (1.3%), and law (0.9%).
