Oh, no!
Ok, next!
Good. Toss all the malcontents, agent provocateurs, criminals, predators, laggards, and entitlement abusers hiding under a “student” visa back to the hell-holes they came from.
American colleges building a business model around educating foreign students was never sustainable. I have zero sympathy - a lot of colleges should not even exist. They actively encourage young people to go deep into debt to obtain worthless, meaningless degrees that will never earn their holders a penny.
And? So what! These colleges should all be sued for crewing up other countries kids. Do you think the parents sent their kids here to be farting around in the streets with pizza place tablecloths on their heads and screaming for genocide of the Jews?
Don't the international students compete for admission with domestic students? How are international students subsidizing domestic students if domestic students are being replaced with international students?
It’s all about the money.
“international students who often pay full tuition, effectively subsidizing domestic students”
Gee, does that include all the illegal alien domestic students? That would REALLY be too bad.
Keep the international students but charge the universities a stiff (25-30%) federal tax on tuition for every international.
Regardless how big any self important institution is, if their model can’t withstand making America great again they’ll have to rethink it.
Sorry, not sorry.
We get…
Xiaofeng Wan, a former admissions officer at Amherst College, now works as a private consultant to international students who want to come to the United States. This week, as he held meetings in China with prospective students, he sensed a deep uncertainty among their parents.
“They really don’t know whether they should send their children to a country where they don’t welcome Chinese students or they see China as a hostile competitor,” Dr. Wan said by telephone from Beijing.”
Why do we get such a needle-in-a-haystack?
Ah….this guy is on the leftist elite speed dial. And his rates probably beyond the reach of mere mortals..
Which means that the headline should be “Snobbitorium Ivys Having Trouble Obtaining Feedstock for Human Trafficking and Brainwashing.”
“China as a hostile competitor”
Naaahhh. China has our best interests in mind. Just ask.
there’s a huge difference between allowing a reasonable number of genuine foreign students in ... and letting (or inviting) your campus to be overrun with Arab/Muslim Terrorists/Agitators and Communist Chinese spies.
This especially applies to public colleges ..which are intended to make educational opportunities available for Americans, not Krapistanis or ChiComs
Bingo
Well we don’t need any more doctorates in bikini inspection.
meaningless degrees that will never earn their holders a penny.>>>> Are you telling me that my $500,000 doctorate in Bikini inspection is worthless?
They could try teaching what students need to know to succeed in life.
They could, really.
Why would this devastate colleges? THere are 1 million foreign students, out of about 18 million total college students in this country. ARE THEY saying that some colleges have far larger shares of foreigners, such as 1/3 of the student body?
Is the bikini inspection department part of the women’s studies department?
I’m always puzzled about women’s studies. The study of women may be fascinating in some ways, but how many jobs in the economy call for degrees in women’s studies in particular?
