Something usually amiss with the current talk of universities is that they are an immigration racket.
Universities make most of its tuition money from foreign students, but foreign students go to american universities to get visas they can use to get into the labor market. The F1 visa is unlimited, contrary to the H1B one, and allows for a transition out of university.
Also for the H1B and multiple categories, one key criteria is having a college degree.
College Education: so valuable you need the law to justify they are worth something

They basically operate like immigration agencies that will get you a visa and an H1b job in return for $30k or so.

It increased US competitive potential by shifting the best & brightest away from their home countries and toward here. Likewise, I’d expect all foreign nations to follow similar policies.
