Entry: Have I Turned Against Ron Paul? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/have_i_turned_against_ron_paul#12986 Post contents: Justin, are you familiar with what is really going on at our science and Engineering Graduate Schools TODAY. I matriculated in 3 of them 20-30 years ago. And 2 of my 3 kids presently attended and applied to more than a dozen of them. As an undergraduate, my daughter was a national merit finalist and had a 4.0 and a 35 out of 36 on her ACT. She could not get into any college she wanted outside of the southeast. And of course out of state tuition assistance was out of the question anywhere. But lets leave that issue alone.. Its true that when I went to graduate school at Case Western Reserve 5 of the 30 graduate students in my department were Americans and none of those 5 were in the PhD program. That hasn't changed. At LSU in the Electrical Engineering Department 3 out of 60 are Americans. But lets leave that issue alone. What has changed is the foreign students are now going back to their countries and competing with us. So we are turning away solid American students to train our competetion. Many are being subsidized. Sent at: 2008 07 24
