[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't it be a good thing if the top US schools educated and prepared more US students?  Is what's happening at harvard a blessing in disguise?

Maybe the government should limit the number of international students at all top schools.  Getting in and the cost of attending is just too much.

1) no, school should admit who they want to create the culture and fill the program as their board mandates
2) there should not be any role for government in college admission decisions, none.[/quote]

Really?

So colleges should be allowed to discriminate on the basis of race or religion in admissions? [b]this would be in violation of the civil rights act, so no[/b]

And the government should fund research at Bob Jones U, for example,  even if it bans interracial dating? [b]if the government had a need for social reseach about dating and bob jones researchers had the best grant proposal, then sure, albeit not likely[/b]

The government clearly should intervene in college admissions where there’s a compelling reason to do so.[b] like discrimination on the basis of race, but generally speaking, if the composition of an incoming class generally is representative of the American demographic landscape, than proving such would be very difficult[/b]

The question is whether the admission of ever greater numbers of international students constitutes a compelling reason for intervention. [b]only in your opinion. Most people who understand higher education disagree[/b][/quote][/quote]

K. So you now agree that government should play a role in admissions, at least in civil rights cases (though bizarrely, you’re willing to allow government funds to subsidize colleges like Bob Jones, which had overtly racist policies).

I assume you’d also agree that the government has the right to restrict admission (via student visas) where national security requires. For example, MIT could be precluded from admitting North Korean students in certain sensitive fields, right?
