    I don't think there are that many. Foreign students from China usually end up at state universities. In any event why would an Ivy Leaguer from China threaten national security?

    I thought you were the man who knew statistics and argued from the facts :)

    Wonder how your "usually" would change if the admission processes was altered..

    Oh well, I guessed you missed the Cold War. There's a lot to catch you up on then but I don't have time right now for all of it.

    They don't teach state secrets in Ivy League classes.

    Speaking of silence. Good thing there are so few students in ivy leagues who could be under malign-to-US-interest influence then eh?

    Universities like Princeton and Harvard are grappling with another obstacle as classes go back in session: China's new natural security law that could prosecute individuals for dissenting political opinions even if they're not in China, The Wall Street Journal reported.

    Some classes at universities will come with a label "This course may cover material considered politically sensitive by China," and students at Princeton would use code names to protect their identities when submitting work, The Journal reported.

    For STEM I wouldn't be surprised. The rivalry between MIT & CALtech is well known

    Now for some MIT humor about their neighboring university located a few red line stops away in Cambridge.

    Q: Why do all the homeless hangout in Harvard Square.

    A: Because the Harvard graduates need to go somewhere.

    Time to Grant Cert in the Harvard Case

    In her majority opinion in Grutter v. Bollinger (2003), Justice Sandra Day O’Connor observed that 25 years had passed “since Justice Powell first approved the use of race to further an interest in student body diversity in the context of higher education” (in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978)). Justice O’Connor went on to declare that she “expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further [that] interest.”

    Well, nineteen years have passed since Grutter, and racial preferences are more entrenched than ever. Among the elite universities that embrace them, is there a single university president who will dare to suggest that they might be discarded?

    As Chief Justice Roberts nicely put it, “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” At conference on Friday, the Chief Justice will have another opportunity to put those words into action. The Court is scheduled to decide whether to grant the certiorari petition filed by Students for Fair Admissions in its lawsuit against Harvard College’s use of racial preferences that penalize Asian-American applicants in the admissions process.

    Just a few years ago The SC in a second case ruled that race can be used in college admissions so its obviously not time.
