AAAF was born out of a problem that the students perceived with the Asian/Asian-American community on campus, thanks in large part to the findings of this report, conducted by the administration.

The report’s most significant results include

1. 11 out of the 20 suicides committed at Cornell since 1996 were committed by students of Asian descent, even though we do not make up 55% of the student population.
2. The highest rate of bias incidents on campus targeted women of Asian descent, including verbal, physical, and sexual attacks.
3. A senior exit survey reported the highest level of dissatisfaction for students of Asian descent.

These shocking statistics spurred both the start of AAAF and a renewed effort to establish an Asian/Asian-American Center on campus.  How much progress do you think has been made since 2004?
