Global Policy Forum Response

This article is about how American universities and colleges are competing with one another to be the first to set up global branches. Mostly they're doing this for the money it could bring them. More branches means more students. More students means more tuition. Also, since they aren't in America, they don't have to live up to the same standards that are held up for schools in America. Although all this is true, it could very well help decrease poverty around the world. If people have a good basic education, they can go on to get jobs that will provide them with sustainable income, which can then be used to provide sustainable food and clean water sources. The more people are educated, the higher quality the demand. In this case that's a good thing. This article is really interesting because it looks at all aspects of international branches of American schools. Seeing how this would change the world is very interesting.
