I heard University of Illinois bought a policy to protect against losing cash tuitions from Chinese grad students. Perhaps other universities have done the same

- busyant 1y ago> I heard University of Illinois bought a policy to protect against losing cash tuitions from Chinese grad students Who's selling that policy? edit: looks like they started this in 2017! https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/11/29/university-illinois-insures-itself-against-possible-drop-chinese-enrollments https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/11/29/university-il... That's some forward thinking!

- PaulHoule 1y agoI think it is more undergrads than grads that pay money, but I think that depends on the field. For a physics PhD for instance at Cornell you usually get paid to teach your first two years and if all goes right do your actual research on a grant. In my case the prof had written a grant for the work I wanted to do which didn't get funded, I spent a summer thinking about the problem which helped us come back with a great grant proposal that got funded. I know Masters of Engineering students pay their own way, maybe other departments are different. I remember there being a lot of Chinese graduate students 25 years ago but now I see lots of undergrads.
