加州SB690法案隱藏信息，違背公平入學原則

基於種族的AA入學政策人為地限制亞裔學生，優先照顧"弱勢群體"。但是AA的成效如何卻很少有人知道，因為這方面的研究非常缺乏。比如說，有沒有學生因為AA的照顧進入某個大學，卻無法跟上進度，從而輟學？現在加州正在醞釀SB690法案，如果通過的話AA的調研將更加困難。這是用保護隱私的借口隱藏真相嗎？

SFFA的Blum先生髮來一個呼籲書，希望關心AA的亞裔朋友給加州議員打電話，寫信，阻止這項法案通過，因為這項法案會阻礙各族裔公平入學的訴求。

SFFA（Students for Fair Admissions, Inc.）在Blum領導下，一直堅韌不拔地在起訴哈佛等大學歧視性入學政策。去年就把這個案子打到了最高法院。

*********************************

Dear Member,

The ideas that unite us in Students for Fair Admissions are that state educational universities should not discriminate based on race, and that they should be transparent and accountable in admissions practices. The state legislature is currently considering a bill which threatens these principles as nothing has since SB5 in 2014. The new bill, SB690, would allow the State Bar to permanently keep secret its unique database on law school students and performance on the State Bar. The Supreme Court, in its unanimous 2013 decision in Sander v. State Bar, held that these records should be made public in a form that protects individual privacy. SB690 would reverse this decision, and would allow public law schools throughout California to hide their admissions practices and the consequences of those practices.

公平入學組織的理念是大學教育不應以種族來區別對待學生，入學政策應該是透明和負責的。而現在加州立法委員會正在考慮一個新的提案，這是自從2014年SB5之後，最有可能嚴重危害這一原則的法案。新法案SB690允許州律師協會永久性地把法學院學生的數據和成績隱藏起來。2013年，最高法院在Sander 對州律師協會的判決中，要求在保護個人隱私的前提下公布這些數據。SB690公然違背了這項裁決，讓加州公立大學法學院隱藏他們的入學標準，以及因此造成的後果。

Please write to these state officials to express opposition to SB690. Some sample language is suggested below. Emails are fine. Comments will be particularly helpful if received by July 17h. Thank you for your help!

請給以下加州議員們寫信或Email反對SB690。結尾有模板，

最好在7月17號之前聯繫他們。

Sample message:

模板：

I am writing to oppose SB690 in its current form. This bill harms government transparency and would, in effect, reverse the Supreme Court』s important pro-transparency decision in Sander v. State Bar. The bill should be modified to prohibit make it clear that non-identifying information in the Bar』s database can be and should be available to the public and to independent researchers.
