All universities in the West are visa mills. Need to ban this immigration or internalise their huge externalities (almost impossible).
Of course they do, this has been going on for years. Universities need funding and foreign students pay hefty fees. General taxation funding isn’t popular, tuition fees haven’t been raised in line with inflation (and these shouldn’t they are very high already), something has to give.
Anyone who studied a social science at a Russel group uni has known this for years. Did quite a few group projects with some of the biggest thickos known to man.
Tangential note, but why does the article repeat itself so many times? Had to check that I hadn’t accidentally scrolled up after encountering the same exact quote for a third time.
They provide money for universities which the government and UK students don’t want to provide. They come in via foundation year route so they aren’t taking the place of UK students. The ones I knew weren’t dumb and we had quite a few UK students who were surprisingly dumb, no way did they get the A level grades or they have coaches who knew the examiners.
Capitalism works right? Or is it completely biased towards those who’ve worked hard to be born into wealth?
