im sorry, but decent Universities generally tend to ensure that accepting grants does not mean selling your soul out to the donors. The donors for example, cannot make grant recipients dance on the street as per university laws. it would be particularly pigheaded, if universities imposed limits on the unexpressed thoughts of people for screening recipients. Theres certain protocols for making decisions on grants, in every university, and unless you can show me that your particular university had it in its grant charter to grant only to students that belonged to nationalities that didnt have people who insulted america on a public bulletin board, you were not acting according to the normal motions grant givers go through.

you are arrogant. you thrust your opinions in the faces of others as fact, and then restrict others to walking a narrow line at the risk of you victimising someone else of the same ethnicity. You’re just plugging your worldview on this forum as is every single idiot that posts here.

go to the thread by irem in feedback. your opinions are offensive to a lot of posters, and no, no my friend, not because people are impressed with your fact laced, backbreaking, nuanced, structured positive reinforcement inducing posts, no, but because people on this forum consider you a person who doesnt come here to talk, but to annoy people.

now tell me, do we, as a pakistani board, curtail the oppurtunity afforded to you to express yourself, do we, like you, talk of the wonderful four course meals we’ve given you and you spat in our faces?

for all your claims to freedom of speech, for all your claims of openmindedness, you just find different ways to justify what both of us know you are doing. harming someone materially because of his “potential” views.

i guess this part isnt for me, i didnt contend that you post in WA for the most part.

Well, let me see point by point.

Your understanding of Universities funding is weak. By REDIRECTING funds from a general purpose fund, largely used to award overseas grants to a fund expressly intended for Hispanic students (US citizens as well as non-US citizens) , the decision is out of the Universities hands. The University has established these funds to attract donors, and to give them flexibility and choice. I, and a lot of people who were offended by comments on Gupshup chose to give money to a group of students that might be more appreciative. We both have freedom of speech my friend. Tens of thousands of dollars were redirected from needy and worthy foreign students to needy and worthy hispanic students.

You are still not capable of correctly framing the issue. No one has said that students are not welcome, nor that they may not speak freely. What many of you fail to understand or acknowledge is the American governments role in the creation and perpetuation of Universities. You also fail to understand that it is and has been the FOREIGN POLICY of the United States to allow foreign students to come here. You are also incapable of understanding that your “free speech” has consequences. The fact that you happen to run into me is coincidental. Foreign students speaking so passionately against the American government while enjoying American hospitality is BOUND to pi$$ off Americans. Why are you then suprised to find people offended? To then turn around and call them racists (after the American people gave Irem a quarter of a million dollar education for instance) is simply one further slap in the face by people who are basically clueless.
