A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

Funded by assorted Federal giveaway programs.
The international students cheat, do not speak English and refuse to assimilate. Keep them out.
I just knew my state taxes were being put to good use educating and training foreigners while many Illinois kids are told to look elsewhere. UIUC gives new meaning to the phrase ‘flagship state college’.

International tuition should be 50% higher than regular out-of-state tuition, not basically the same amount. That premium needs to reflect the true cost of taking a slot away from an Illinois taxpaying citizen whose tax dollars fund the school.
Especially if they are going to give the cold shoulder to american students while there.
Those 10,000 international students represent 10,000 fewer spots that IL students. How exactly is this equitable?
Hey, they pay full freight. Colleges need that dough.
