While I'm not saying there is any excuse for foreign students cheating their way into school, I do think the issue of Asian Americans in higher ed is much more complicated and there's no way you can lump foreign Asians in with Asian American students.
Even though I've seen this article a few months back, still a great read. Lots of great perspectives.

It keeps getting wider.
Mind elaborating? I'm curious to see what you mean by that.

IIRC in-state UC students pay almost $30,000 for tuition + housing. Out of state students have to pay up to $50,000. (I know someone who's attending a UC as an out-of-state student and has to pony up that much money

Well....way cheaper. Maybe pay a few thousand per year max, iirc. But don't forget the problem of overcrowding, which is a major issue in California's community colleges atm.
