文 本 解 說

2018 年，哈佛大學(xué)因涉嫌歧視亞裔學(xué)生被告上法庭。原告認(rèn)為，哈佛大學(xué)在推進(jìn)“多元化”的美名之下，對(duì)非洲和拉美裔學(xué)生予以照顧，其實(shí)是建立在犧牲亞裔學(xué)生錄取機(jī)會(huì)的基礎(chǔ)之上。八所常春藤盟校的亞裔學(xué)生比例幾乎從未突破20%。在高校錄取上的不公平，讓在美國的亞裔們?nèi)虩o可忍。包括華裔、日裔、韓裔、印度裔等64 個(gè)亞裔團(tuán)體聯(lián)盟都曾向美國教育部公民權(quán)利辦公室申訴。

來自巴勒斯坦的17 歲哈佛大學(xué)新生伊斯梅爾·阿加維入境美國，被官員審查社交賬號(hào)后，其簽證被取消并被驅(qū)逐出境，原因是他的朋友曾在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上發(fā)帖反對(duì)美國。在歷經(jīng)周折后，伊斯梅爾·阿加維周一已經(jīng)返回哈佛大學(xué)。

A Palestinian student who was at first denied entry to the United States has been admitted to the country.

Ismail Ajjawi planned to attend Harvard University in Massachusetts.Harvard's student paper reported that he arrived at the university on Monday in time for the start of classes Tuesday.A lawyer representing Ajjawi's family released a statement to thank his supporters.The statement said,“We hope now that everyone can respect our and Ismail'sprivacyand he can now simply focus on settling into college and his important class work.”

Last week,Ajjawi told The Harvard Crimson newspaper that USfederal agents detainedhim for eight hours at Boston's airport.He said they searched his electronic devices and questioned him about his friends'social media posts.“They included political points of view that oppose the US，”he said in a statement.

Ajjawi wrote， “I responded that I have no business with such posts and that I didn't like,share or comment on them and told her that I shouldn't be held responsible for what others post.”

A US Customs and Border Protection official,however,would notconfirmthe information.The official told The Associated Press （AP）that the decision to cancel Ajjawi's visa was based on information discovered during an inspection.The official added,“He can still try to reapply for a visa to enter the country.”

Several Harvard student groups then organized apetitionto support Ajjawi's admission to the US.The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education also called on the US government to admit him.

AMIDEAST,a not-for-profit organization,awarded Ajjawi a scholarship to attend Harvard.The group said the US Embassy in Beirut examined his case and reissued his visa.

Through their lawyer,Ajjawi's family added, “We truly appreciate the efforts of so many individuals and officials in Lebanon,Washington,Massachusetts and at Harvard that have made it possible for our son Ismail Ajjawi to begin his studies at Harvard with his class.”
