SAY NO TO FOREIGN STUDENTS

Academia is NOT a business, yet it is run like one.  Today academics have a vested interest in making money.  Their interest in their subject comes out of the money they can make, not out of the subject itself.  They encourage large numbers of foreign students to come to this country for heavy fees.  The students number approximately 150,000 Chinese, about the same from the EU and a similar number from other countries.  They take the places of British students and drain our resources.  Places of higher education are supposed to be the lifeblood of our nation.  Academics need to get back to their roots.  We should severely restrict the numbers of foreign students.
