The academic industrial complex has since moved on to focusing on wealthy international students, a group that is even less cost sensitive than an American student with a blank check.
- the_only_law 4y agoI really noticed this when reading the page for a grad school at a nearby university, maybe one of the students on any of the research teams in the department were American.
- Barracoon 4y agoWere they not American or did they not have traditionally white Anglo-Saxon names?
- the_only_law 4y agoBoth, I believe most of them were from China.
- Xeronate 4y agoI think this is more likely caused by grad school being a poor investment for the average American but a great investment for a foreign student looking to get a job in America.
- the_only_law 4y agoYeah this was my initial thought as well. In fairness, the program was also somewhat niche.
