You're absolutely correct, it is always a net win for Big U,
but it's almost entirely funded by the US taxpayer and I think
the US taxpayer would be better served by funding only American
grad students and making foreign grad students pay their own way.


I think most universities would love to give all of their teaching
assistantships to American citizens, if only to cut down the
whining from students about how they can't understand their
TA's accent. However, at least in the SMET disciplines, there's
not enough American graduate students to go around to cover all
those sections of ____ 101 at all the schools.
