As the official publication of the  organization, JAAS is a prestigious journal with an acceptance rate of 10  percent. The publication of an article in the journal often leads to book  contract and tenure\/promotion for faculty members. The editors have been  selected from leading senior scholars with significant contributions to the  field. Ling has authored and edited ten books on Asian American studies.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Rick Bonus, President of the Association for Asian American Studies  (AAAS), has written a thank you letter to Dr. Douglass Davenport, the Dean of  College of Arts and Sciences, and Professor Steven Reschly, Chair of the History  Department, to express the Association\u2019s deep appreciation for their support of  Professor Ling. \u201cWe know how crucial it is for Professor Huping Ling to be  supported by her institution as she assumes this major professional  responsibility, and we thank you for your trust in her.
