jian li's uphill battle

The furor over Jian Li's civil rights complaint over Princeton's admissions policies continues to make headlines and rage on: Asian bias fight grows. There's an online petition here, calling Princeton to release average test scores and admission rates on its applicants by ethnic group: End Discrimination in Admissions Policies. Is it me, or does it seem like this movement is having some trouble garnering support? I can sort of see why. The poor guy got rejected from Princeton... so he went to Yale instead. Still, I agree that there does need to be a more transparent admissions process.
