Purdue President Mung Chiang among six to get letters asking to account for what House committee calls a national security threat of Chinese students in STEM degree programs
The state department is charged with deciding which students do and do not get entry into the United States. The state department issues or denies visas. The state department evaluates the funding support of people entering the US to ensure they are not a risk to become a public charge. The state department requires some, if not all students to present themselves for a consular interview prior to issuing a visa (one of my son's expected roommates was unable to attend because he could not get an appointment in time).
It seems that most of the rep's questions should be directed to the state department. But then Rep McCarthy wouldn't get to grandstand.
I'll also note that it was always inevitable that Republican support of lawsuits claiming that universities were discriminating against Asian/Asian-American students would morph into Republicans claiming there are too many Asian students.
Maybe education institutions wouldn't have to "pursue short-term financial gain" if the government simply funded its public universities? A red herring for a Red Scare.
My question is why didn’t Rep. Moolenaar send a letter to the school in his own back yard? I’m quite sure that the University of Michigan has 50% more students from mainland China than does Purdue.
Ah, the Maga folks come for the University. Who would have thought it? Stop state funding for state universities and someone/somewhere has to fill the financial gap. And now that's a problem.

I can't "heart" this article, but not because of the fine reporting.
This administration has been out of control, and this action is just another example. It's sickening.
We are living through a reincarnation of the Red Scare, segregation, discrimination. Now WE get to answer the question, "Why didn't someone stop it?"

A big F U response to the Bull Crap coming down on Purdue and, public education, is the correct response from Purdue’s president. IMO

Some questions are very good. The Michigan rep had answers in mind. Too bad for his nonpartisan approach.
