August 4 - August 10, 2000
Retired Asian American Judge to Fill Insurance Commissioner Post
On Monday, Governor Gray Davis appointed a prominent retired API judge to the state Insurance Commissioner post—a position left open by the controversial resignation of former Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush. The appointment would make Harry Low the highest-ranking Asian American in state government if his nomination receives confirmation by a majority of the Senate and the Assembly.
If confirmed, Low will serve out the rest of Quackenbush’s term, which ends in 2002. Low said he has not ruled out the possibility of running for the Insurance Commissioner office once he has completed his term. However, he seemed ambivalent about that prospect.

A series of school suspensions has drawn attention to the Torrance Unified School District, leading some community leaders to charge the L.A.-area district with discrimination against Asian American students. Within approximately one year, three separate incidents involving altercations between whites and Asian Americans have resulted in suspensions for the API students, while the white students involved received less harsh punishment or no penalty. Concerned parents and civil rights groups call the disciplinary actions by the school administrations selective, unfair and biased.
