US slows in international education race - Oct 07, 2009 | 15:54:31
posted by: Molly Gallagher
The United States has long been considered the world's leading nation in higher education and while it remains atop the pack, other countries are steadily closing the gap. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, half of all students within the United States who earn doctorates in key science and technology fields come from overseas. Similarly, a quarter of American college faculty members today are foreign-born. The fear is that as other countries continue to fund and develop their respective higher education systems, programs within the United States have weakened, as is the case with the University of California, in the difficult economy and may become less desirable for international students than their own public institutions.

I'm happy to say that I have Mr. Brand's signature on my diploma from IU. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
