Action Minutes

The notice for a joint meeting was sent by S . B. Woo, after he had obtained the permission of the PAC’s Executive committee. He also chaired the meeting.

Tony Nakazawa, Ge o r ge Yang and David Fan were invited to vote by email. Tony and David each voted yes. George Yang didn’t vote. So the final count was 17 out of 19 voted for the motion. One voted to abstain and one was absent.

Whereas, 80 – 20 PAC an d EF share the same goals and are complementary components of 80 – 20 Initiative;

Whereas, keeping the Boards of the two components UNITED is essential for the most effective service to the Asian American com

Whereas, the two components no longer ha ve the same individual as their respective presidents, thereby introducing the possibility of having disagreements between EF and PAC;

Whereas, a decision by one component that is NOT supported by the other component is detrimental to the essential UNITY of the PAC and EF and its resulting service to AsAms,

Whereas, touching b ases with the other component, PRIOR to the public announcement of any BIG campaign, and/or forming agreement with external organizations, is easy to achieve and can help prevent suc h potential conflict and the resulting disunity,

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that

The leadership of one component shall always be diligent in touching bases with the leadership of the other in writing, PRIOR to the public announcement of a BIG campaign or the formation of an agreement with one or more external organizations.

BE IT THEREFORE FURTHER RESOLVED, that touching bases means obtaining the agreement or the acquiescence, or as a minimum, the genuine “agreeing to disagree” of the other component. Otherwise, the decision(s) of the violating component, without having developed a consensus of the two components, shall be null and void, and the violating officer(s) may be placed under impeachment proceedings.

August 30, 2017- Resolution passed by the PAC Board (in conjunction with the EF Board) :

Type of Meeting: Joint Conference call of both PAC and EF Boards; chaired by S. B. Woo through the authorization of PAC’s Executive Committee

Present: EF Board Members: Henry Lee, Jing-Li Yu, S. B. Woo, Kathleen To, Wei-jing Zhu, S. K. Lo and Larry Shen

Excused:Alice Huang of the EF Board; Yueh-ting Lee of PAC’mBoard

The only actionable item was described in Woo’s email of 5:03 pm Aug. 30, 2017 to Board members. It is to agree upon the talking points of a potential press release in reaction to the the letter sent to AG Sessions and Sec.of DoEDDeVos by the the 5 Democratic Congresspersonsregarding a planned investigation of a complaintfiled by Yukong Zhao ofAACE ( As AmCoalition on Education)against Harvard. S. B. stated that the purpose of passing the following motion was 2-fold. A) So that the Boards of PAC and EF will be on the same page, and B) So that all Board members will be on the same page.

Woo proposed the following talking points. a) We would love an investigation by the DOJ, because there are so many UGLY facts that NO ONE has disputed, including the offices of the 8 Ivy college presidents,

b) However, we agree with the 5 Dems that we hope that it is not to reverse the emphasis of diversity, whether racial or socio-economic. REMEMBER that our position is NOT identical with that of Blum and/or AACE.

c) Give the background info on 80-20 Initiative: by far the the largest …, ; non-partisan but in the past has either endorsed or “endorsed with reservation” Dem presidential candidates since 2000. But on this issue of college admissions, we are truly unhappy with the Dem party for completely ignoring the UGLY facts on discrimination agains AsAm youth. If the Dems. don’t change, we may go the other way in the next presidential election and in the 2018 mid-year elections.

The above was approved unanimously by all Board Members present, without a single dissenting or abstaining vote.

The conference call was adjourned at 9:10 pm EDT

Respectfully submitted by S. B. Woo in the absence of Alice Huang, who is the Secretary of 80-20 Educational Foundation
