Handing over world leadership directly to China.
China has offered to take in any international students who are now rejected from Harvard.
I think they’ll find few of them will take that offer, given the CCP’s intolerance to dissent. I’d also guess rich internationals will just go somewhere else, while poor internationals won’t be able to go without the kind of generous financial aid top American universities offer.
International students generally are ineligible for pretty much all financial aid. There arent actually any “poor” international students who are benefiting from financial aid.
I went to a need-based aid school, like the way Harvard and many top institutions especially are (not that mine was one of those, but still). All of our international students were the only ones ineligible for need-based money. The international students had to pay full tuition, often on tighter timeframes than even full-payer Americans did.
The reality is that cutting out international students actually harms an institution’s ability to provide aid to American students. They get charged full tuition for a multitude of reasons, but partly to fund need based aid for Americans
Cool. Am I supposed to pretend this is bad?
