The trend in the article sounds like it is a bit parochial or patriotic in a bad way: Exploiting foreign students' wealth to subsidize the domestic students' experiences, without necessarily giving the foreigners an experience that matches what they're paying. It seems to me that these international populations are being used as tools in the financial arms race of colleges. That doesn't mean to say that this international population is all or even most concerned with entering US schools genuinely for the experience, values, and education (as opposed to the diploma or prestige or so on). Exploitation can go both ways, I guess.
