We would be better off if you became less dependent on the money from foreign students and instead focused on the large number of inner-city youths who are seriously under represented on campus, despite the enormous need that these students have. The city has huge numbers of children in need of advanced education who are crippled coming out of the NYC public school system. LIU/Brooklyn and LIU/Post need to step in and fill that void, and end its addiction to foreign student is not helpful.
The school doesn't do adequate outreach to local students. Its a complete failure.
Instead of focusing on the immigration problem, focus on funding students from our local neighborhoods, especially communities that are undeserved like East New York, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Cyprus Hills, East Flatbush, Flatbush, Sunset Park, etc ,etc. These students have been abandoned while higher education chases foreign students from upper class families in the third world.
I know we have far more than 6 students from the community that you can help. Additionally, I'm certain that there are more than 6 students having problems making their payments to the bursars office, who will not get all of your attention, or a long winded letter.
Additionally, don't think that the student body has forgotten the outrageous labor action that the administration did, causing real harm to the student body and destroying school moral. As far as moral standards are concern, you have a lot of ground to make up before wagging a finger at the Trump administration.
