I read the article. They are #45 because of international
ethnicity. Say it ain't so. My son is an honor student at SCCC
is is looking to finish his undergraduate degree either at SB or
Binghamton. I told him go with Binghamton for his business
degree. He wont fit well with 45% of asians in his class rooms
at Stony Brook

So anything other that a white majority is unacceptable at a NY
university? The 45% Asians may make him a better and more
focused student
I would tell him to attend whichever has the best Business
program or the best reputation...

I dont agree with it. Stony Brook high percentage of
international diversity students have everything to do with
money. There are a ton of SUNY schools in NYS where he can
attend and get the same business degree and not sit in a
classroom with professors who cant speak English or students who
wont even look at you.
This is the reason for the very low student fans base at our
football and basketball games. There's nothing the athletic dept
can do to make 1000 or more Asians attend football games.

The category ratings for SBU actually aren’t very good.
“Academic reputation” came in low compared to other top
universities. The boost from “international diversity” (a
questionable measure of quality) accounts for the overall high
ranking.

i did notice that- when you read the guts of the article and how
they factored that in.
nevertheless- appropriate for the thread!

Yeah, like who would actually choose SBU over UVA (which is
ranked lower than SBU).

"International diversity" is indeed a worthy and debatable topic
when it comes to the operation of a university. What hasn't been
stated yet is the fact that those international students
contribute greatly to the reasonable cost of education for
your/our native students. It certainly is about money...in a
financial equation that tends to favor native NY students in a
significant way.
But when one-sided characterizations of ethnic groups and
not-so-veiled racist tropes enter into the discussion, that to
me is not appropriate and should not be shrugged off as "just
the way things are."
A high five to those of you who challenge those
stereotypes...you are First-Team All AE in your rankings and
accomplishments and make SBU a better place.

When we're ahead of schools like Buffalo, Penn State, Maryland,
and BC, I'm not going to sit here and argue with the ranking.
I also wouldn't choose to not send my kid to SBU based on the
assertion that the teachers "won't speak English." What a
ridiculous thing to say.

It's not a ridiculous thing to say. If you cant understand the
professor speaking what good is it. This is not something we all
don't already know. The language barrier between students and
professor is concerning. I know many, and I mean many students
who turned away from SB because of this issue.

i do recall talking to a parent of a prospective athlete over 20
years ago- kid liked the team, dad was concerned with academics.
only had one question- do the professors speak english,
particular in mathematics.
LI is rather insular. especially out in suffolk.
again i have no dog in the fight; i welcome diversity. just
passing on the news.

Of course SBU is not lacking in applications, interest, and
reputation from an academic standpoint. If many of these
students exist and choose to turn away for a reason like this,
that certainly is just one more thing that makes SBU better.
