“These countries aren’t helping us. They’re not investing in Harvard … we are. So why would 31 percent — why would a number so big,” he said. “I think they should have a cap of maybe around 15 percent, not 31 percent.”

i remember listening to some NPR broadcast in the 2000s about how elite universities were thriving by charging full boat to foreign students. the report treated it like it was a 100% good thing, never questioning whether selling prestige to foreigners was worth diluting the quality and availability of elite education to american citizens. neolibs are demonic.

ostensibly what you're paying for with an elite education is primarily being surrounded by other brilliant students which also allows the professors instruction to be deeper and more nuanced. if half your class is ESL that's impossible. you can already go online and get top-tier instruction for any material for free.

it's complete fraud and does a disservice to everyone. including the international students. whatever actual value there is to attending school in a different country and for the domestic students to meet people from around the world is eviscerated when half the class is ESL chinks who self-isolate with all the other ESL chinks. it's blatant prestige selling and they might as well just cut harvard a check for $250k for a correspondence degree.
