You should try telling that line to people I know who couldn’t get their classes because universities give preference to foreign students who pay higher tuition. With the result that American kids are at a disadvantage in American universities.

I “get” what’s been going on in the world of higher education and the job stream that it feeds just fine. I’m pretty sure that you don’t.

Agreed. STEM unemployment Problem starts with incoming Freshman. The foreign students can be hired by companies for $12000 less (as per Rush today). UofI is now going to China to recruit STEM students—this is nuts for a state funded university!!! US students first!

Is that U of IL or U of IN? I know U of IL’s enrollment is actually down a bit, but in a quick search I can’t find anything on enrollment numbers in their STEM programs.

Other IL State Universities are really hurting in terms of enrollment (see my post above for a link to specifics.)

If enrollment is down, then of course Universities are going to go wherever they can to recruit.

I wonder how many Universities are actually at their physical limits (available classrooms, labs, etc.) for STEM enrollment, and for whatever reason can’t expand? I’ll bet it’s under 1 in 4.

The real problem is that the prevailing wage requirements for foreign workers are not meaningfully enforced & “in the field” those wages are too low. Employers should NOT be allowed (given?) lower labor cost for foreign workers than US workers.
