What is it with Ivy League schools and their Asian American Studies programs? After similar cases at Harvard and Yale, I came across a posting on Angry Asian Man about the University of Pennsylvania and their article on the Asian American Studies program in the student paper:
“Last week the University notified officials in the Asian American Studies (ASAM) department that their budget, which was decreased for this academic year, will likely remain at the same lower level for the 2008-2009 academic year. This decision, however, has received negative feedback from many students and department officials. University administration cut back on the budgets of several departments, including ASAM, this past academic year to allow for certain expenses, like bringing Kalpen Modi (Kal Penn) to campus … In addition, the ASAM department is already at a point where there are no full-time staff members, said department administrators.”
Is there are any decent Asian American Studies program in the Ivy League? or on the East Coast in general?
