@mom2collegekids I would think that the answer regarding taxation of US source income for an international student depends in large part on the tax treaties that might be in place between the US and the country the student is fiscal resident of. Keep in mind that an international student could still be taxed on that income in his/her home country. Conceptually it is not that much different from how out of state students might be taxed by the state where they come from. Nothing unfair per se.
