<p>Call me a cynic but the growth of international students is more about expanding the pool of well funded students than increasing diversity. It also rubs me the wrong way when I see our top univirsities enjoying taxfree status at home then filling their spots with well funded international students. If I were “the king” you would lose your taxfree status if you have > 10% full pay international students.<br>
Take the ethnic diversity stats with a large grain of salt. It only records domestic students and 8% are mixed or did not report their race. The international students did not report their ethnicity (20%). So 28% are unknown. If those 28% are considered it’s fair to say the “true” ethnic mix is significantly different from what is reported.</p>
