Heavy Recruitment of Chinese Students Sows Discord on U.S. Campuses
It's Ms Kao's assignment for this week.
Personally, I think it is a good article to read.
Because the author not only pointed out the huge problem in U.S. campuses, raised primarily by Chinese students, but also revealed provosts' and professors' perspectives toward the discord.
Admittedly, some students from Taiwan have encountered this obstacle, too. In the U.S., however, the number of Chinese students is way more than the number of Taiwanese students. And I guess that is the reason why Taiwanese students are not mentioned. (Should I be grateful about this?)
But I am not sure whether the approach mentioned in the article can tackle the problem or not. Let's hope most of Taiwanese students won't come across this trouble.
