It is a historical day for the fight against Affirmative Action. This is not about which ethic group or person “wins” or “loses”. It is about the common good of what is right vs. wrong.

Judge James Ho’s Remarks Announcing a Hiring Boycott From Stanford Law School

2023年4月7日兔子急了Leave a comment

Great remarks by Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho, particularly quoting University of Chicago President Hanna Holborn Gray: “education should not be intended to make people comfortable, it is meant to make them think. Universities should be expected to provide the conditions within which hard thought, and therefore strong disagreement, independent judgment, and the questioning of stubborn assumptions, can flourish in an environment of the greatest freedom”

“The Department of Justice is leading its own investigation against Harvard’s admissions process, which was ongoing as of December 2019. In a separate investigation, the Justice Department found last month that Yale University also discriminates against Asian American applicants.”

AARA为SFFA筹款更新(5/22)及费用简介

2018年5月22日2018年5月30日兔子急了Leave a comment

本文公布AARA发起筹款后二十四小时内的数据。向大家汇报，也呼吁大家继续支持并且向更多还不太了解这个官司和我们筹款意义的朋友介绍。

请注意该数据仅包含从https://aarawa.org/donate页面通过PayPal merchant service对AARA的直接捐赠。

不包括：

各种渠道直接对SFFA的捐助和内网match.
邮寄支票给AARA.
通过雇主内网捐助AARA.
以上所有方式捐助后，在雇主内网申请match给AARA。

我们无法得知1的数据，2-4的数据将根据延时后续汇报，其中3与4我们只能知道总额，不清楚人数也不清楚总额中多少是捐款，多少是志愿者volunteer hour match.

数据

扣除PayPal的费用后，AARA实收总额为$13,711.68，远超我们原定的很低的四周五千元目标。非常感谢参与捐款和宣传的朋友。我们希望形成筹款和宣传SFFA诉讼的良性循环，便于今后再次组织为SFFA的筹款，所以恳请大家帮助宣传，在五月三十一日之前达到五倍于原定目标的两万五千元。

原始总金额: $14,066

捐款人数: 149 （实际是150，有一位朋友的捐款PayPal标记为withheld，未计入总额，可能是因为在旅行中从外地捐款被信用卡公司block）

平均每人原始捐款数: $94.40

最高个人捐款: $1,000(后期将有公司match的另外1000元)——请大家向这位和很多读者一样的普通码工、非高管，“自强不息厚德载物”大学校友学习！

费用简介

我们还收到很多关于费用的问题，例如“明明微软不收钱，你们为什么说内网捐助有收费”，“我该用信用卡还是PayPal支付”。限于时间所限，不能详细解释所有我们亲自操作才学到的细节，希望以下手写的示意图能解答大部分问题，也让我们学来的这点知识对大家今后自己运作其他公益组织有所帮助。
