Why is American Academia fighting this? These students are here on Visas. They have no protection against having their BG checked. This continued attempts to enforce "PC" is going to get people killed. Hopefully, the courts will find for the Government in these cases.

I see it more as an attempt to mask the fact that US govt agencies do not share data. Every foreign student who applies for a student visa goes thru a fairly complex process including all kinds of background checks at the local consulate, before being granted a visa. So, all that info is available to the govt, even before the student leaves his/her home country.
