We send all of our good paying jobs to India, causing millions of Americans to be out of work. Since Indians can now afford to send their kids to American universities their numbers are increasing very fast. All because they make enough money with those American jobs to be able to afford our universities. Since Americans lost their jobs to India, they can’t afford to send their kids to our universities. Seems like a fair trade, doesn’t it? Ain’t globalism grand? < /sarcasm >

Funding isn't the reason. The reason is that American students do not want to take science and engineering majors.

Even the white and Hispanic students who'd been in sophomore year Linear Circuits, Physics, and Linear Algebra were gone when junior year rolled around and we started Data Structures, Compiler Construction and other CE courses. They'd all headed for the Econ department or something else. There was exactly one white girl left in any of my junior year computer courses, maybe 6 white guys, no blacks, no Hispanics. The rest were Indians and Asians - some first and second gen Americans, some immigrants, most of them very good. Courses graded on the curve were tough.
