Where is the model?

The  British Council helps UK universities reach out to international students with research, local support, and conferences. There is no such counterpart in the US.  Thus, the UK presence in transnational markets is a formidable one.

What options do US universities have? Build a branch campus? Web advertising to get "free range" students? Hire international recruiters? Twinning arrangements with foreign universities?

Without a system in place, or even a scalable model, US education will always be playing catch-up with the UK.  And not just education and the tuition fees, but the goodwill that is generated by making US education available in countries outside our borders.

  1. Then the small shed tumbled into the crater and the fire miraculously doused itself
    in the earth. On that trip one man gave me a late-model
    automobile. My  mother let me have one piece and it was so delicious  and  gummy
     and huge and I tried to blow bubbles and the gum stuck in streaks to my nose and lips and cheeks and
    eyes and it was hugely wonderful.
