Some of y'all are too racist and stupid to see past your nose.

I never understood the big draw for international students. They steal information and intellectual property, what does the university benefit from it?

There are going to be a lot of disappointed folks if the Department of Education is actually killed as it should be, which I doubt it will be. A bunch of people are going to be adding a few more states to their hate list.

Any state university funded by taxes should be required to admit in-state students 1st, out-of-state 2nd.
Out-of-state tuition is very high because out of state students don’t support schools with their taxes. They actually subsidize in-state students keeping costs down. I would have to assume this is even more the case with international students.

Yes. Children of tax paying Americans, wanting to attend a state university funded by taxes, should ALWAYS get priority over foreign students!
Ok.
But your original statement said "in state 1st, out of state 2nd".
Is that regardless of GPA and test scores? All the students LSU, UL, LA Tech, etc. can fill in-state, regardless of grades and scores, before out of state students?

1968 I had to take EE for non EE majors taught at 730 am TTS. Teacher was Iranian, ex-pilot and in course introduction he described course content is very difficult with the wave theory calculations but he will give a c for effort, if one turns in homework, takes tests and attends every Saturday 7 am class.
A man of his word, and I attended every Saturday class for a c

If you're asking if anybody wanting in should get in? No.
Any Louisiana resident, that is a US citizen, regardless of how they became one, and meets the academic requirements for the College they are applying to, should have priority over out of state and foreign students at LSU.
No where am I saying that foreign students not be admitted, I'm saying they should only be admitted after tax paying Americans have been admitted and spots are available.

You make a great point. What's gonna happen when there is a sharp decline in OOS students, especially foreign ones, that are willing to pay high tuition? Most likely it would mean raising tuition across the board, altering TOPS, or making major budget cuts. I would prefer if colleges would eat the costs and greatly reduce admin.

Lmao. There goes my major. The majority of my Chemistry Professors were foreign. Oh and my calculus professors.
I’d hazard to say the engineering program would be gutted as well.

I don't know what the total amount is, but I can tell you, a large percentage of kids from Texas are offered in state tuition at SEC schools.
My son and a lot of others were offered in state tuition from Ark, LSU, OM, KY, and AL

I don’t think there’s a huge pool of American professors that are both qualified/experienced AND want to move to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to work and live as a tenured professor
Not saying there’s not any but those jobs are not ones people are beating down doors for (aside from those professors desperate for tenure) and you’re limiting your options there for reasons that are not worth it

Absolutely. What the United States needs more than anything is a brain drain where the world's brightest and able are educated in China or someplace other than Baton Rouge and Athens....fricking incredibly brilliant idea.
Anyone who doubts the fact that the one thing the United States excels at is higher education has to ask themselves why so many well heeled foreigners see to it their kid is educated in US Universities. While there those kids are doing all sorts of research AND being exposed to US ideals and culture...and either taking it home with them or in some cases staying and benefitting the US with their talent. If we are going to be a merit based country we should really educate the most capable of benefitting from said education, that does not exclude foreigners.

Always has. The anti-education, anti-intellectual crowd that always takes over when a dictatorship begins is in full gear and accelerating at an unnerving pace in the US today.
