Reply #21: the majority of professors at my school (howard u)...

[silverpatronus]

are internationals. ESPECIALLY in the maths and science departments, but also in departments like history and sociology. it's a running joke on campus that there isn't a single professor in the maths department for whom english is a first language. it's true that without internationals, a lot of the maths/science programs are the first thing to go.

i also resent the implication that internationals aren't worthy of college money. i'm an international student, and i earned my scholarship from howard u. i would not have been able to afford to go to college ANYWHERE without some kind of scholarship. the federal and state money goes to the citizens and permanent residents, which is as it should be. the schools can give their money to whomever they think most deserves it.
