Universities haven’t had integrity for decades. Back in the 70s, in my senior year, my state university brought in a ton of Iranian students. They hated being here and wouldn’t do their class work if they even bothered showing up. The profs were told to pass them no matter what. Problem was, when so many grading on a bell curve, that caused the rest of us US students to have major drops in GPAs.

Legacy students also steal desks. Just because daddy went there, doesn’t mean junior should.

I experienced that. However from what I saw very few hated it here. They primarily used being here as an opportunity to protest against the Shah and screw naïve American coeds.

Years ago, before the Iranian revolution, I taught an engineering course at a local university. I had a lot of Iranian students every semester. They were good students and did well in my classes. When the Iranian revolution happened, things changed. My students suddenly started looking for ways to stay in the U.S. instead of going home. They all figured they'd be shot if they returned. I have no idea what ever happened to them. I hope they survived.
