Apparently they need to offer a primer on university finances. |
Do they? They seem to be doing fine. |
Free to the clueless public. Misinformation--like Trump implying that foreign students attend for free--is tough to fight. |
I don't care if they pay their own way or not. We don't need to import agitators and educate them. |
So you want to send 1,100,000 tuition-paying students away because a handful broke a few rules? I think you need to re-evaluate the priorities in your life. |
You put words in my mouth. I was referring to the agitators. |
The universities handle the discipline of the "agitators," just like students committing whatever other sort of infraction. The campus protests would not have been meaningfully different without foreign students. The federal government *definitely* has better ways to be spending our taxpayer-supported resources. Just because Trump is annoyed because some schools rejected his child is not sane justification for all this ridiculous drama. |
But Harvard and Columbia did not handle the agitating protestors at first. They let the "peaceful" protests continue way too long. I remember it all quite well, including their presidents' weak, anemic, generic, deflecting responses when questioned. Finally, I can't stand Trump but not sure how you know his motivations. |
Yes, the pendulum of tolerance for disruptive protests swung too far, so that needed correcting. But that is not hard. In fact, getting the presidents fired is a pretty strong action to motivate less tolerance of disruption. So why is this still a big deal worth destroying long-standing institutions? That disproportionality leads one to speculate about the true motivations. |
PP here. I can agree with all you said. I keep praying for normalcy and reason. . |
USA debt is going exponential Federal contracts to colleges, money losing student loans, federal aid to colleges are the easiest cuts. Every other category of cuts are tougher decisions. The colleges need to embrace technology and AI to slash expenses in all areas and sell almost all of their campuses or new schools with better quality and a fraction of the cost will take their place. |
How is this view relevant to Trump wanting to revoke Harvard's ability to host foreign students? (other than making hosting foreign students that much more necessary?) |
Harvard can still make profits off their state tax exemption. They run hotels and restaurants. |
Where do you think that AI research is taking place? |
I want to deport the handful(which is more than that) but the university is not assisting in that. |
