I-House Berkeley: 1940s News Reel

Excerpts from a 1946 news reel prepared by the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs about the International House Movement. The full 17 minute piece focused on the three original I-Houses in New York, Berkeley, and Chicago. This edit focuses on the UC Berkeley House, and was prepared for the House's 2011 fund-raising Gala.

The UC Berkeley campus is still so charming and beautiful. The student body is wonderfully diverse with majority students from “in-state residents” with reduced tuition. My son is a junior there majoring in mathematics, so great he is among Nobel prize winners, and other noted academics.

Can we get the complete program?

Swell. Now 30% of UCB students are international (mostly Chinese) and are receiving an education paid for (in part) by California taxpayers. The UC system was funded by Californians and should educate Californians, with international enrollment limited to 5% at most.

International students are how UC makes the majority of its money

Stoopid much?!
Foreign students pay full tuition. That supports local in-state California students at a much lower cost.
My son is a junior at Berkeley majoring in Mathematics! The campus is still so beautiful and vibrant - and diverse!
