[文本解说]

2018年，哈佛大学因涉嫌歧视亚裔学生被告上法庭。原告认为，哈佛大学在推进“多元化”的美名之下，对非洲和拉美裔学生予以照顾，其实是建立在牺牲亚裔学生录取机会的基础之上。八所常春藤盟校的亚裔学生比例几乎从未突破20%。在高校录取上的不公平，让在美国的亚裔们忍无可忍。包括华裔、日裔、韩裔、印度裔等64个亚裔团体联盟都曾向美国教育部公民权利办公室申诉。

来自巴勒斯坦的17岁哈佛大学新生伊斯梅尔·阿加维入境美国，被官员审查社交账号后，其签证被取消并被驱逐出境，原因是他的朋友曾在网络上发帖反对美国。在历经周折后，伊斯梅尔·阿加维周一已经返回哈佛大学。

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. Harvards student paper reported that he arrived at the university on Monday in time for the start of classes Tuesday. A lawyer representing Ajjawis family released a statement to thank his supporters. The statement said， “We hope now that everyone can respect our and Ismails privacy and he can now simply focus on settling into college and his important class work.”

Last week， Ajjawi told The Harvard Crimson newspaper that US federal agents detained him for eight hours at Bostons 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 didnt like， share or comment on them and told her that I shouldnt be held responsible for what others post.”

A US Customs and Border Protection official， however， would not confirm the information. The official told The Associated Press （AP） that the decision to cancel Ajjawis 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 a petition to support Ajjawis 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.”
