Proposed legislation offers increased aid to schools that meet quotas
By Kristin Burnham Published: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 If Congress approves a new bill, Syracuse University officials could have an incentive to further diversify the undergraduate student population over the next few years.
The bill, introduced by Congressman David Wu (D-Ore.), is an amendment to the Higher Education Act. The bill, which could be passed as soon as this spring, states that any college or university with an Asian-American and Pacific Island undergraduate enrollment of 10 percent or greater will be eligible for an increase in federal funding.
In addition to the specified enrollment quota, the university must also have a large number of students who qualify for need-based financial aid.
Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders currently account for about six percent of SU's undergraduate population, not including international students. According to the Office of Financial Aid, approximately three quarters of enrolled students are currently receiving need-based financial aid.
"Of course [the bill] is an incentive for the university to build upon the Asian-American population and Asian American-studies," said Marisa Craybas, associate director of government and community relations. "It will help us build upon academic instructions where Asians are underrepresented."

One of my primary goals for this year is to strengthen AALLC membership. To achieve this goal we need to recruit new members, to retain old members, and to reinforce our tie. We can begin by inviting a friend to check out AALLC's website, and read and contribute to our newsletter. This is the first issue edited by our new editor, Hua Li. One of the new features she brings is a column on membership activities. I hope that you would find it fun and inform her any news you want to share with others. Let us stay connected!

1) The number of Asian Pacific Americans ("APA") the candidate has appointed or supported for appointment or election to positions in his administration, state, or company. APA's now comprise 14% of the students attending America's most selective colleges and 8% of the students attending law schools. Many APA's are opposed to illegal employment discrimination and want to ensure that APA's are treated fairly in hiring. From Response to 80-20 Initiative : In the last seven years, our Administration has tripled the number of Asian Pacific Americans appointed by the previous Administration, and has nominated more Asian Pacific Americans to the Federal bench than any other Administration. And for the first time in history, our Administration has created an Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to improve participation in Federal programs where communities may be under- served. Here are some of the Asian Pacific Americans appointed by the Clinton /Gore administration: 1.4% of Clinton's judicial appointees have been Asian-American.

Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao Hosts Third Annual Asian Pacific American Federal Career Advancement Summit
Launches New Federal Career Guide WASHINGTON —Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao leads the Office of Personnel Management and five new department partners in hosting the third annual Asian Pacific American ( APA ) Federal Career Advancement Summit today. This year, the Departments of Defense, Agriculture, Justice, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development are among the federal government partners of the Summit “May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the many accomplishments and contributions of Asian Pacific Americans to our country. Asian Pacific Americans are an under-represented minority in the federal government. We host training sessions and workshops for other population groups. This Summit with its many interactive workshops, mentoring sessions, and panel discussions is meant to reach out and help Asian Pacific Americans gain additional skills to advance to leadership positions within the federal government,” said Secretary

http://www.adversity.net/Terms_Definitions/TERMS/Digital_Divide.htm
Definition:
Digital Divide Digital Divide is a term which refers to the fact that blacks and Hispanics use the internet less than whites or Asians. The term implies that the races are divided according to those who make greater use of, and derive greater benefit from, the internet (the "haves") and those who do not (the "have nots"). By definition, the "haves" are presumed to be privileged whites and Asians and the "have nots" are presumed to be underprivileged blacks and Hispanics. "Digital Divide" is closely related to the terms "proportional representation", "underrepresentation" and "disparate impact". As with these other terms, "digital divide" assumes (a) that racial discrimination is both the cause and the effect; and (b) that whites are primarily responsible for the alleged racial discrimination. "Digital Divide" became a popular term during the first two Clinton presidencies when Bill Clinton was fond of proclaiming that grave disparities in internet access had a disparate impact on minorities and needed to be "remedied" by government intervention. He also proclaimed a great many other grave disparities which were based on skin color. By definition, neither whites nor Asians can be victims of the "digital divide". For example, in 1999 Forrester Research reported that 64% of Asian-American households were using the internet versus 34% of white households. But the digital divide crowd took no notice of this disparity because both whites and Asians are presumed to be privileged as compared to their brown and black counterparts. (Note 1)

There are no United States federal statutes against cloning. Congress failed to pass legislation in the 1997-98 session. In 2001 the House of Representatives passed a bill to ban both reproductive and research cloning, which President Bush indicated he would sign. The Senate tabled the legislation and a vote was never taken. Failure to Pass Federal Cloning Legislation, 1997-1998 Current Efforts to Pass Federal Cloning Legislation, 2001-2002 Analysis Failure to Pass Federal Cloning Legislation, 1997-1998 In February 1997, one month after the Roslin Institute in Scotland announced that they had cloned a sheep, President Clinton issued an executive order prohibiting the use of federal funds for human cloning. This provision is still in effect but has no bearing on privately funded research and thus is largely symbolic. In February 1998 a bill calling for a ban on human reproductive cloning was introduced by Democratic Senators Feinstein (CA) and Kennedy (MA). A competing bill, which would have banned both human reproductive cloning and the creation of clonal embryos, was introduced by Republican Senators Bond (MO), Frist (TN) and Lott (MI). The Democratic bill was supported by the biotechnology industry and biomedical research community, and the Republican bill by anti-abortion groups and religious conservatives. No other constituencies played a visible role in the lobbying.

I would like to thank the Association of Asian-American Studies for giving me the opportunity to speak today. I am in the presence of many academics who, I am sure, know a great deal more about Chinese immigration to North America than I do. However, as a member of the Canadian Senate, I hope to be able to shed some light on Chinese immigration to Canada. I will begin with a broad historic survey, before discussing some of the contemporary issues in Canadian immigration policy, including new legislation tabled last month in our federal Parliament. An examination of Canadian history reveals that aside from our country’s indigenous peoples, no racial or ethnic group has experienced as harsh treatment as the Chinese. The development of the Chinese-Canadian community has been bound inextricably to Canadian immigration policy and past anti-Chinese laws. For a historical review, I have divided Chinese immigration to Canada into four waves.

This course presents an overview of sociological research on Asian Americans in the U.S., framed around the evaluation of Asian Americans as "model minorities." We begin with a brief overview of popular images of Asian Americans as seen through recent portrayals in mainstream media (movies, television). We review general sociological frameworks used to understand racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. and move quickly to document the history of Asian immigration to the U.S. We explore how Asian Americans fare in educational attainment, labor market experiences, political organizations, urban experience, and Asian interracial marriage and biracials. We examine whether and how "Asian American" is a meaningful label.
