AND YOU WONDER WHY THEY THINK GLOBALIZATION IS JUST AMERICANIZATION?:
American education thriving ... in Qatar: Five US universities have opened satellite campuses in the Mideast state. (Danna Harman, 2/22/07, The Christian Science Monitor)
Taking globalization of higher education to new heights, five American universities, including Carnegie Mellon and Georgetown, have opened satellite campuses here in the past few years, employing some of the same professors as at their stateside campuses, demanding the same tuition, and - theoretically - providing the same education.The aim, says Nawal Abdullah al-Shaikh, spokeswoman for the country's Supreme Education Council, is to create an environment of reform and progress without losing strong Islamic values.

This is a great idea and many more colleges and universities should follow suit. Just as we are taking the fight against Islamic terror to their homelands, we can take the fight against Islamic ignorance to students homelands.
In other words, keep them out of the U.S.
