A coalition of over 100 Asian-American groups is filing an administrative complaint with the United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights against three Ivy League schools, accusing them of illegally discriminating against Asians in admissions.
The complaint against Yale University, Brown University, and Dartmouth College is similar to one filed last year against Harvard University (which was dismissed in favor of a lawsuit against the school). The three schools are accused of placing a quota on Asian students that causes them to have extremely low admission rates for them.
BOSTON – The National Labor Relations Board on Monday sought a temporary restraining order against several labor unions which it said are orchestrating a campaign to harass area hotels currently housing out-of-town Verizon strikebreakers.
About 39,000 union workers walked off their Verizon jobs in mid-April after a series of failed contract negotiations with the local wireline telephone service provider. The workers handle landline, cable television and Internet access systems in nine Eastern states, including all of southern New England.
