What this sounds like to me: the university admitted a lot of people without vetting them. A lot of them failed out. Why is this a story?

  > the university admitted a lot of people without vetting them. A lot of them failed out. Which is pretty disingenuous. Even for citizens I've seen universities admit students to programs who have little to no chance of graduating.

Unlike undergraduate programs, these get far less scrutiny, and it's also much harder to compare success rates, because programs are often specialized and employment rates aren't always as indicative of the value of the graduate degree as they are for undergraduate education.
