【 abroad.hopetrip.com.hk - 消息資訊】美國留學：常青藤兩所高校卷入醜聞 申請人數削減

　　Two US Ivy League universities saw application numbers drop this semester, with the reasons ranging from scandal to demographic changes, to a decline in the number of high school graduates in recent years.

　　在本年的申請中，美國的兩所常青藤同盟的大學申請人數有所削減，緣故原由有許多方面，有黌舍傳出的醜聞，也有近幾年高中卒業生削減的緣故原由。

　　Dartmouth saw a steep drop in applications, which fell to 14 per cent at 19,235 – the biggest decline in 21 years, according to a university spokesman cited by Bloomberg.

　　據一名大學的談話人在Bloomberg說的情形，申請達特茅斯學院的人數削減了，削減了14%只有19235的申請人——這是黌舍21年來下滑最緊張的一次。

　　The figures come after a year in which Dartmouth, based in New Hampshire, sought to clean up its image following reports of fraternity hazing, complaints about the failure to address sexual harassment, and allegations of gender-based discrimination on campus. Faculty have also protested the university’s Greek fraternity system, which they say promoted violence and binge drinking.

　　處於新罕布什爾州的達特茅斯學院，在友愛幹系的黌舍被爆出醜聞以後敏捷規復形象，同時處置性騷擾事宜不可功和校園內的性別輕視談吐使得黌舍的申請人數下跌。學院先生也在抗議黌舍的Greek系統，其保護暴力行動和賓格酒。

　　Dartmouth spokesman Tommy Bruce said the university was taking the decline in applications “seriously” and were “investigating the causes”, the report said.

　　達特茅斯學院Tommy Bruce說黌舍把申請削減這件事看得很主要而且在探討緣故原由。

　　The university has also decided to stop crediting high-school Advanced Placement courses – a move that could also impact future admissions as many applicants take AP courses.

　　達特茅斯學院決議不依靠高中的高級課程——申請AP課程的人多了就會影響黌舍有更多的人申請。

　　Meanwhile, applications to Harvard University fell by 2.1 per cent, from 35,023 last year to just 34,295 this year.

　　與此同時，申請哈佛大學的人數與客歲比擬削減了2.1%,從客歲的35023人削減到本年的34295人。

　　The university attributed the decrease to the “contraction in the number of US high school graduates” over the past two years.

　　哈佛大學以為這是在曩昔兩年裏高中卒業生削減的緣故原由釀成的。

　　The number of US high school graduates began to fall with the Class of 2012, according to a report last year by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, Bloomberg reported.

　　Other Ivy League schools, however, such as Princeton, Yale and Brown universities and the University of Pennsylvania, saw upticks in applications. Columbia and Cornell universities have yet to release data.

　　但是，在其他常青藤同盟的高校如普林斯頓大學，耶魯大學和布朗大學另有賓夕法尼亞大學，申請人數都有所增長。哥倫比亞大學和康奈爾大學還未頒布數據。
