Chapter 703 Failed Study Abroad Cooperation

"International students?!"

"That's right, Professor Liu. I'm only one step away now, or I will be the chairman of the Yale University Council in the second half of the year. I have participated in some school affairs. This year Yale University is likely to increase the proportion of international admissions. There are more seats.”

"No, did I call you as soon as I heard the news?"

Thanks to the time difference, Carter almost didn't have to wait until tomorrow to do it.

As soon as the front foot returns to the dormitory, the back foot can make a phone call.
Through the New Haven Giant Panda House, it has almost become a well-known thing that Carter has contact with China, and even has a lot of contact.Hearing Carter's swearing assurance that he could attract a large number of international students from China, Stevens couldn't help but be moved.
"You can try it first, communicate your intentions in a personal relationship, and see how feasible it is? If you feel confident, we will go to the principal tomorrow, no, maybe next week before we can talk to him."

The words of Stevens before leaving echoed in his mind, and he was affirmed by the big bosses of the school.Carter was very interested, as if all kinds of benefits were floating in front of his eyes
Contributing to the school's finances means that one's own influence and right to speak are more important, which is a short-term benefit; it brings a large group of Chinese students.
Those who have just arrived in the United States and are unfamiliar with the place, as long as they contribute a little bit to their affairs, they can go for a run.Not to mention buying people's hearts, but gaining great favor and dependence is always right.

No matter what the future holds, most of them have to admit their feelings.Even if they all return to China for development in the end.
Returnees these days are not sea turtles.Coupled with the signboard of the famous Ivy League school, it is not normal for them to do poorly!
In this way, in a disguised form, it is equivalent to extending his tentacles to all walks of life on the other side of the ocean in advance.
Maybe it was because the small calculations in my heart were so loud that even Professor Liu on the other side of the ocean heard it, and a basin of cold water poured down his head mercilessly
"Haha, thank you for your concern. But Yale University is not a school that we have a cooperative relationship with in our government-sponsored study abroad."

"why?!"

How could this be? !

Carter was stunned.

Is Yale University weak in terms of teaching and scientific research strength? !
Speaking of historical origins, it is no exaggeration to say that Yale University is the most pro-China wave among American universities, let alone having animosity with China.It can be said that sending international students to Yale should be the safest choice.

Some friction among students, or some racists being discriminated against, Carter can't guarantee that it can be completely avoided.But at Yale University, in a blue city like New Haven, such incidents must be much, much less.
"Because it's expensive"

Professor Liu sighed. As the first batch of scholars studying in the United States, how could Professor Liu not know the pros and cons of Yale.

"It is different today. When our group of scholars went to the United States, the Carter administration was still in charge. At that time, there were official support and subsidies. Our first batch of receiving institutions were mainly public institutions, let alone now? "

"I also know that Yale is very good, but Yale's tuition is also expensive! You know our situation, and the funds are limited. Often, once the tuition is paid, it can give students the start-up funds for life in the United States, only a few dollars! These few dollars are still used for emergencies, and they are basically not spent at ordinary times. Almost all of our students have just landed in the United States, put their luggage in the dormitory, and immediately go to find a job to support themselves.”

"In addition, Yale is still a liberal arts university after all. Although after 80 years, we have also increased the number of expatriate places for economics and management majors, but compared with the number of places for science and engineering, the number of places for economics and management will be much less. About five places Among them, there may only be one for economics and management students”

"So, thank you for your kindness and reminder. But now I'm afraid."

"What about self-funded students? No matter if they are undergraduates, postgraduates or visiting scholars, we at Yale now welcome friends from China."

Hearing what Professor Liu said, Carter understood.only.
I'm so unhappy!
But not reconciled, Carter couldn't think of a way for a while.

The charging standards of private colleges and public colleges are there. They have federal or state financial appropriations to support them, but Yale does not. How can this be said? !

And even for public colleges and universities, the tuition fee is one or two thousand dollars a year.For China at this time, it is not a small number, after all, the base is large!
According to the gossip that Carter knew, Mr. Deng had an idea to send 10 public-funded overseas students back then.
A large base, no matter how small the number is, it is not small.How did they choose a private university like Yale University? !
Now Yale is also counting on foreign students to make money, how could it issue too many scholarships
What's more, Yale University's engineering program is definitely enough compared with ordinary universities, but it is completely incomparable with some powerful universities.However, engineering is the subject with the fastest results, or the subject that best meets the current needs of China
When these several situations are superimposed together, no matter how smooth Carter's lip service is, it is futile.

"Students at their own expense, we don't care about it, and we can't care about it. Even. Last year, something happened next door to us. A student named Hai Wen went to study at Long Beach State University in California at his own expense. Because of this incident, their department Several leaders were punished, but not serious."

"Now the situation of re-opening is gradually clear, and the country is more open and enlightened about this area. But there is no official document, so we don't have a standard process for studying abroad at our own expense. The process is very cumbersome, and in this case, you should I can understand."

"Yale University's high tuition fees, on the one hand, dissuade many students who want to apply. They dare not apply to Yale University because they can't afford the money. Moreover, publicity and selection are not like public-study abroad cooperation. We can come forward Guide, choose and send."

To put it bluntly, the higher-ups turned a blind eye to this? !

Carter totally understands.

It has just been re-opened for a few years, and there are so many things going on, who cares about the management regulations for studying abroad at their own expense.Moreover, in the past few years, it was estimated that few families could afford it, so they carried along
"I understand, but I believe that within a few years, things in this area will be relaxed. By then, Yale should be able to welcome many Chinese friends. I hope I can see that day on campus. .To be honest, there are many Chinese at Yale, no, it should be said that they are of Chinese descent. Relatively speaking, it should be easier for Chinese students to adapt to Yale than other universities. In addition, our public services The teaching and scientific research strength in management, economics, biology, and medicine is not weak.”

As for the business in front of him, there is obviously no need to continue the negotiation when no compromise can be thought of.But the politeness on the scene still needs to be maintained.
After a few miles of wow, Carter hung up the phone in a slumber, and sighed at the same time:

"Ugh"
