"In the United States, many colleges have grown increasingly reliant on the tuition from the 194,000 Chinese students who enrolled at American universities last year, a 23 percent increase over the previous year. Mr. Chen’s statement did not include details about how he might have been pressed by N.Y.U., and he declined an interview request on Sunday. But friends said he had been quietly stewing in recent months over what he believed were the university’s efforts to stage-manage his public activism, which included an appearance in April on Capitol Hill to speak about the Chinese government’s persecution of relatives he left behind." Ever wonder what is keeping American students from attending these universities? At the risk of sounding xenophobic, I believe universities that receive federal funding should be limited to the amount of students they have from other nations. It is after all our tax dollars that are funding these colleges. They should be benefitting our nation!
