As someone who's been involved with university recruiting, it's clear to me that even great schools run moneymaker degree mill programs. There are degree mill programs in Top 5 CS schools because people from overseas are willing to pay substantially for the credential (and OPT).
- readhn 10y agoAre you telling me Mc Gill or Oxford or Insead, for instance, are going to put their name on a crappy diploma where person is completely clueless? Come on! Create a list of best ranked foreign universities and make an easy path for their graduates to come to USA / look for work / start families and and eventually naturalize if they want to. USA should really use the opportunity where Europe and other parts of the world are unstable and they have a pool of good brains/talents looking to potentially escape those places. Look at Russia for instance - they lost top brains in science in the late 80-90's due to instability in the country. Where are these guys today? Running science labs at universities/companies in USA/Europe and all over the world. Where is Russia today? Completely screwed and not able to replenish the talent pool. Do you think they do not wish today that they had paid their professors or grad students a bit more than 10$/month to keep them from leaving the country back in the 90's? How would history develop if Sergei Brin's family was not allowed to get an entry visa to USA? (personally i do not think that google would exist today here or in russia). The situation with immigration today is unprecedented. USA is given free golden ticket and it does not want to take it.
