What fresh hell is this?
Why are American taxpayers funding this?
Columbia has one of the largest international student and scholar populations in the US.
Columbia University has 35,978 students enrolled
...:
Columbia University has more than 23,000 international students and scholars from 162 countries
That RATS nest needs a good fumigating. Get that crap outta here.

And who is paying their very high tuition?
In the early 2000’s there was a huge push on college campuses to attract overseas students. The reason? The schools did not have to provide them with financial aid. They were literally “full pay”. Colleges made a killing on them.
Qatar is my guess.

So why was that school getting that much in taxpayer money?
The US educational system no longer produces NEARLY enough students to fill our elite colleges - so the schools simply take their students from countries that actually do educate their kids (and there are many, many, of those).
No big deal...unless one thinks of the implications for our kids and grand kids.
I reckon we’re gonna find out.
shut down the “skool” and nd you eliminate commie indoctrination, and keep a bunch of future trouble makers in their home countries. Win Win!
They provide free or discounted tuition based on need for American students (https://www.lendingtree.com/student/ivy-league-financial-aid/), and generally can charge full boat for foreigners. Schools have also long pulled in marginal foreign students to be able to brag about having representation from as many countries (and states) as possible.
But yeah, we need a reckoning with higher ed across the board.

>”In 2024, Columbia had a total enrolment of 35,279, and a foreign student enrollment of 23,914. Two-thirds of their students are foreign! They are essentially a foreign school, and should be getting ZERO dollars from the US taxpayers, and zero access to sensitive research.”<

It was big at the state university I went to. Full pay was also the out of state rate which was about triple the in-state rate most students started at.
Probably a lot of them.
How does that compare to other universities?
“...so the schools simply take their students from countries that actually do educate their kids...”
The capitalists will sell us the rope we will use to hang them. Lenin, supposedly.
I thought the whole rationale was that the taxpayers DID NOT fund them.
“The capitalists will sell us the rope we will use to hang them. Lenin, supposedly.”
I’d reword it a bit: “The Westerners will outsource the rope we will use to hang them.”
How many Muzzies?
