...Most worrisome is that these federal regulations place the culture of welcoming international students at stake. As the digits of the fees climb, resentment and anti-American sentiment will too. That the fees actually fund a program designed to invasively monitor the activities of students is outrageous. The claim that this type of tracking of people under F, M or J non-immigrant visas helps to apprehend “violators before they can potentially endanger the national security of the United States” is preposterous.

But in recent days the exhibit's 250 photographs have become the subject of a heated debate over how history ought to be presented. Detractors claim the curators neglected to inform spectators that the pictures were outright Nazi propaganda, commissioned and shot to show a German public just how happily the French lived under Occupation.
