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.

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.

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.

Gellar must read FR:

>”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.”<

I thought the whole rationale was that the taxpayers DID NOT fund them.

No idea who the author is, but she’s been living under a rock for the past 25 years.

Was one Baraq H. 0bama among them too? That’s why his college records were sealed.

Probably the same percentage of professors. I really hated taking Calculus under someone I couldn’t understand.

That number is significantly higher than I would have guessed.
No wonder there is so much crazy anti-American crap going on there!

They charge foreign students more than students from America.
