[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is sick. Larry Ellison dropped out of UIUC because his mother died. He was highly intelligent and even got into Uchicago, but ended up dropping out again. An average college dropout will amount to little and earn less.

I also want to emphasize that Ellison started his career in the 1960s. A completely different world and environment than right now.[/quote]

The American dream – outsourced for tuition dollars

Universities, intent on sustaining the inflow of international students and boosting their standing in outcome-based rankings, appear willing to assume the risks of fines and penalties associated with visa fraud. That very willingness exposes the lack of any comparable effort to support American students, at a time when U.S. graduates face some of the highest rates of unemployment and underemployment. The contrast is undeniable: Institutions will assume legal risks to advance international pipelines while failing to prioritize the success of their own country's citizens.

For American graduates, there is no OPT pathway, no payroll tax breaks for employers and no special incentives to make them more attractive hires than foreign workers. Instead, they graduate with rising debt and enter a job market where opportunities are shrinking, tilted against them by design. The outcome is a higher education system where tuition revenue and international recruitment take precedence, while American students bear the burden of diminished returns on their investment in education.[/quote]
