Rather than insisting “there are too many Asian students” in certain programs and education institutions, the researchers suggest, “At the national, state, and local levels, policymakers and educators should ask: Are there observable practices among Asian students that could apply more broadly?”
The researchers didn’t go into any details about what these observable practices are. As an Asian American, I can attest that cultural factors have significantly impacted Asian students’ overall academic success. Asian American cultures place high values on work ethics and learning. Parents instill in their children from a young age that education is their only path to social and economic mobility.
