You want to see the Internet at work, find an upscale university in a 3rd world country (we do have them) and hang out with the graduating class. You'll think you're in an LA suburb.

I think there are still two sides to this. ESL has got to be a problem for some of these kids. You never really understand a second language as well as your first, IMO. The article points out the problem if the Gov starts trying to "regulate" these overseas hires.

But the Foreign Universities don't have the PC problems we do. They understand the kids have to succeed, and not just adjust to life. So the Grads are a lot more motivated to succeed. When I see our Polynesian kids here in the Islands being pushed into immersion in the Hawaiian language instead of learning "CNN English", it just frosts me. They know better in Asia.
