A Cornell University student facing deportation after his visa was revoked because of his campus activism said he decided to leave the United States.
Momodou Taal, a citizen of the United Kingdom and Gambia, had asked a federal court to halt his detention. But he posted on X late Monday that he didn’t believe a legal ruling in his favor would guarantee his safety or ability to speak out.
“I have lost faith I could walk the streets without being abducted,” Momodou Taal wrote from an unknown location. “Weighing up these options, I took the decision to leave on my own terms.”
They do, also it’s a wider talent pool and more chance of recruiting the best and brightest.
its mostly because they pay alot more as a non-citizen and out of state, “the best student is usually secondary” its all about the money. as a non-student if you do post bacc at many state university, or 4 year, it cost alot more to attend classes, no discounts compared to be an undergrad.
