Department of Justice Investigating Harvard for 

   alleged discrimination against AsAm students

    Many news sources, including Harvard's student paper The Crimson, have reported that the Department of Justice has, by inference, admitted that it is "actively investigating Harvard" for alleged discrimination against AsAms.   

    The complaint, which the DOJ under Obama didn't want to investigate,

was first filed by a group of "64 AsAm Associations" in 2015.  W hen the DOJ under Trump gave hints that it might  investigate, 5 Democratic elected officials  wrote to the DOJ to discourage the investigation.  Immediately after, 80-20 EF wrote to

    (1)  Attorney General  Sessions  and DoED Secretary Betsy DeVos to 

          encourage the  investigation, and

    (2) the 5 Democratic officials and the Democratic National Committee 

         to  register our disappointment with their action .

            A Phone Conversation with Senator Tom Carper (D, DE)

                         & a  former DOJ official under Obama

    S. B. Woo e-mailed " UGLY facts on ..." to his friends.  US Senator Tom Carper (D, DE),  2 generals, 1 admiral and many other VIPs wrote back expressing interest.  Sen. Carper asked  his staff and me to help him  "drill down on this information".  

   As a result, Sen. Tom Carper, his  aide, and a former DOJ official under Obama, who had direct involvement in the decision not to investigate the compliant by the "64 AsAm Associations", and I  had a 40 minute phone conversation a few days ago .  Since this former DOJ official was on the opposing side, I am delighted to report that all the facts cited in the " UGLY facts on ... " were  not disputed.   Sen. Carper expressed continued interest in "UGLY facts on .."   There will be further conversations.

   Note that the EF and the "64 AsAm assocs" both seek to end discrimination against AsAms.   However , the "64 assocs." seek "race neutral admissions."   80-20 EF embraces diversity and focuses on ending the discrimination against AsAm youth.
