No it it's not? That's always been US's strength, the green card. You pool resources from other countries.

Well naturally. But that's because those who do get through are the best of the best, and those who got in through less than meritorious means tend to go into easy majors.

A lot of the people here who bitch about affirmative action clearly haven’t been in a college classroom. More blacks are being accepted, not at the expense of white people, but just as additional applicants. Across the country, acceptance rates have skyrocketed. And regardless of the racial composition of the applicant pool, the sophomores the following years are only the students who didn’t get filtered.

1300 slots only became available, because they want to reach their diversity quotas. Those slots would’ve never gone to a white student, as they were specifically made for racial minorities. The amount of spots available is something artificially controlled by the college, it’s not a true reflection of some sort of capacity.

Unless you mean "where are the math grads going" in which case -- you should probably sit down for this -- industry pays so much better than academia that grads reject it as a future career option.

Academia has little institutional power or money nowadays, it's flooded with immigrants because we can use their brains, but the pay really isn't that great.

During the 20th century we saw extreme investments in all governments and corporations in R&D, no longer leaving these tasks to the academy. It allows them to control information more effectively as well as reap the benefits of these minds. It's actually quite selfish, but the west (and America especially) has become very self serving.

It's a multifaceted issue though. Academia is a much more raw deal nowadays than it was even 30 years ago. That also leads to an exodus. A lot of the top tier minds that are still in academia are attached to major institutions that get a lot of contracts from the government or other organizations like JHU's APL. So basically they're attached in name only.

There us no pressure to be good at pure math. The American economy wants software developers, managers, and electronics engineers. Most of the actual math workers in these positions do is automated. They don't have to understand it all that well.

American students who excel and math and chose to pursue it over the aforementioned disciplines are heavily disadvantaged in the job market. They spent their time learning math, instead of pursuing what employers actually want from candidates, ie software, managerial, and engineering skills.

I should have included more in this post.
This has to do with a variety of factors. If you want to look at a close to ideal education system, check out Switzerland. Only the top 15% of students are sent to the middle/high school which prepares them for university, Gymnasium; These students get a much better primary education than Americans do, because they don't have to cater to retards. So, entering university, students are better prepared for university and are, for the most part, certain in what they want to study. They don't have to deal with bullshit geneds, as these are covered in Gymnasium. So, these motivated, intelligent students have three years to spend working on what they choose to study, producing better academics.
Note that the education system differs by Canton, and this is a broad generalization of the Swiss education system.

part of it is true. when I were in high school, the best students were selected into honor class and were groomed to become IMO participants. I heard the US had this system and abolished it.
however, I find that the system in my country was still bad because we don't have enough teachers. they kind of made everyone take similar classes to save time and fill the credits. even now, I still wonder why did I have to take classes in fluid mechanics and do chemistry experiments as a CompSci undergrad.

the idea is that a comp sci degree isn't meant to get you to be a code monkey that pumps out barely maintainable java programs that take 3gb of ram to do Hello World. That's an associates degree from a community college.

the idea is that you'll be able to program things that interface with other fields (my school makes us take two lab sciences [physics, chemistry, biology, geology, or oceanography]) and bridge that gap, since everything is reliant on programs and algorithms nowadays.

I would be happy to bridge that gap anon, but the classes I took wasn't even computational. I had to look at/design the experiments or whatever they called, make the equations about all the properties in the dynamical systems and solve closed form solutions for them by hands. it's more like a physicist/chemist job, not CompSci.

4 courses about crystallography

Overall it was 180 credits except for some reason each course rewarded half of the credits students from other faculties got.

>go to R1 top 100 university in America

>none except for english and canadian are fluent english speakers
imagine being too stupid to be able to learn a foreign language even though doing your job successfully depends on it
imagine being completely immune to criticism and protected by the federal government from complaints by citizen-students due to affirmative action law
maybe americans are bad at math because their math instructors are incapable of communicating in the native language, why are all those third worlders doing in america to begin with? not good enough to land a math teaching job at home?

I haven't read through every post but so far I have seen no mention of the following:
>US universities are highly incentivised to enroll foreign students because they can charge considerably more for tuition
>I have no personal experience in the matter but I've heard pursuing a PhD isn't a great return on investment
>many of these foreign students need consistent employment to stay in the US. Once again, I heard professor wages are poor in comparison to the private sector. The universities are incentivised yet again to employ the cheapest option aka slave labor.
>The US actively tries to poach the smartest or most educated people from around the world to undercut other nations.

I knew something was amiss years ago when a Vietnamese immigrate -- who had absolutely no grasp of the language -- was teaching an upper level course on a fairly complicated subject. All students should be outraged at this as the entire purpose of education should be to convey information and it's an absolute failure if you cannot even communicate it properly.

>pursuing a PhD isn't a great return on investment
That is only true if you did PhD in a crapshoot field (humanities) where the PhD is not funded and you have to pay out of your pocket, in addition to student loan debt you incurred during your undergrad.
For a STEM field (CS), doing a PhD is financially beneficial

Also professor wage is not that poor. And wage is not the reason to go to private sector or not. My professor at an Ivy make 250k a year. He spend almost 2 mil on grand money on the lab annually. He said he can make x5 if he go to a private company but doesnt want to work on meaningless shit for money.

Obviously there are exceptions. Should have prefaced with 'generally speaking'. You could argue from a financial perspective that the opportunity cost of pursuing a PhD in CS is very high. Even with a master's degree and applicable skills it's not uncommon to clear $200k+ working for the FAGMAN companies -- granted the landscape might have just permanently shifted in the last 6 months.

Let's be realistic, how many Ivy League positions are available? I assume it's relatively small. The salaries are going to following a normal distribution and -- completely anecdotal -- it would be bad advice to direct all PhD student in that direction especially when the private sector has far more options and higher salary on average.

If you're talking about the US
>foreign students pay more
This is generally not true. Private universities have no legal cap on domestic student fees. They do have a 10% cap on undergrad international students to be eligible for federal grants. Certain state universities do only subsidise students from that state.

>PhD isn't great financially
Professors are generally well paid, it's like being an extremely high class teacher. Many universities offer incentives to patent your research as well. The fees are considerable but if you go to a good university, it's a decent living

>foreign students need consistent employment
Foreign workers do. Students need a visa for study, which is a separate thing.

>Vietnamese student who can't even communicate properly
>their purpose is to convey information
Professors are not there to educate you, technically speaking. Modern universities are treated as essentially vocational colleges, which is vastly different from their original intent. As per the Prussian model, universities were largely dedicated to pure research, teaching was secondary and intended to teach the next generation of researchers. But the rise of industrialisation and engineers created a demand for skilled labour, which at the lower end was bridged by vocational schools, and at the higher end universities. Undergrad/bachelor's originally signified an extremely junior member of a University. In many research focused unis, this tradition continues in that high level professors barely teach or don't teach at all.

Professors are generally well paid, white collar level. Elite professors make much more, especially from textbooks, directorships, research, books, etc.

Ivyish school hire tons of professors due to how large and how much money they have. Generally, if you are a professor in STEM, even at a shitty school, you can get at least 100k easily. The kicker is the pension and benefits tho so you don't have to worry about saving money for retirement. Work is low stress and generally much more satisfying than in industry. It's a very comfy job.

also, in CS, if you are a famous professors, companies will pay you like half a million a year just to have you on their website and do nothing else for them. if you are well connected, you and your PhD students can also do consultant work for companies, which can pay 200-500/hour. so there is not really an incentive for top professors in CS to go to industry.

>he thinks non-job related slots mean anything

School slots are artificial by nature. It's already established that Education institutions limit slots since it feigns a level of "prestige" that the masses would not otherwise associate with. Why do you think these schools advertise their acceptance, retention and graduation rates?

Nothing is fundamentally lost here and I'm tired of you trilobites acting like it is. Those 300 non-blacks (or whatever number you attribute to the real world) you bitch about not getting in because of affirmative action, would have never been brought in because the institutions wasn't interested in them in the first place. If an education institution which has the intrinsic ability to decrease or increase its own slots for various non-monetary reasons why would it matter how many slots it has? Shit like "perceived effectiveness" for example, where each teacher serving a set number of students is not verifiably objective. We already know that objectively one on one sessions is the best way to generally teach students. But you can't make enough money for an institution with just one student per class. So can you cite some golden ratio for the amount of students a single teacher can serve that optimizes grade achievement and financial gain received by each student attending there by the institution? You probably can't.

It earnestly pisses me off I have to share the same space as you dolts who can't see the rat race here. One would have thought the student loan debt debacle or nursing/doctor """shortage""" would have enlighten you about the games Education institutions play. But I guess not.

No, I mean it could be true at certain states I am not aware of. But no state in the US enforces some kind of tuition cap on fees only for Americans. But many do have American only subsidies. It is done in some British and European universities, but the idea has been transplanted by disgruntled people into that American universities work the same.

>They do have 10% cap on undergrad
>UNDERGRAD
Lmao, yeah, there's like no international students at the undergrad level. They make up a tiny piece of pie of any student body.... But that's undergrad

Graduate school is a different beast and they are definitely milking those foreign students like cows.

Professors literally are there to educate, why else would they be evaluated based on that? Anyway, you're showing your retardation. Most R1 schools have dedicated research faculty because they're not stupid and know students come to learn. Many of my professors both in undergrad and graduate school were literally ONLY lecturers (like they didn't do much of any research and were teaching 4+ courses).

There's no excuse for shitty professors. No course at the graduate or undergrad level is so complex and new that only a handful of professors can teach it. They're simply isn't enough demand for that. Once you get to that specialization, it's all self study anyway

lol. you don't know what you are talking about. tenure evaluation are always research first, teaching second. some position don't even evaluate teaching.

at most decent enough universities, professor main job is research and bringing in grant money. one course max per semseter is all they teach. you probably went to a shit school and think everywhere else must be the same as your shitty school. you are a retarded vermin.

Such low IQ take lmao. Profs actually love to do lectures for some reason. The most busy profs usually do like 4 out of 12-14 lectures per semester and get some replacement.
I even have multiple professors from industry coming over to hold a lecture once a week.
One is vice president of some major electronics company and still enjoys doing lectures.
So to profs holding lectures is more of a hobby or some sort. It's not like they actually spend a lot of time on it, considering that all the presentations are made by their subordinates.
