I don’t expect others here to share my pride, but I hope you will agree that Mitch Daniels should be commended for this.
This makes me proud of my alma mater

Surprised this didn't get more national coverage (maybe I missed it, but it looks like this is the most/only reliable link on the story)
I have a feeling this is only the start, as Mitch’s email was sent earlier today. It will likely cost Purdue money and students from China. If it does, so be it.
Plenty of other worthy enrollees in the mix, including international students. I'd consider it China's loss as Purdue is a Top 10 engineering institution.
The best case will be if other universities follow suit.
Surprisingly, Purdue only has about 200 students from China this year. I would have thought it’s 10x that number.
President Daniels responds to Chinese student's harassment
Purdue President Mitch Daniels sent an email to Purdue students, faculty and staff Wednesday, criticizing the harassment of a Chinese student over speaking on Chinese politics.
A few decades ago the father-in-law of my nephew who was a renowned nuclear physicist at Notre Dame offered students a lucrative scholarship to anyone qualified and willing to attend Notre Dame.
Much to his surprise those applying were mostly from China.
Since then the steady growth of science and engineering college graduates in China has resulted in China having far more graduates than the U.S.
