From the story: The study — carried out jointly by Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania — based its findings on data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Freshmen. It said international students are often favored, because they are highly motivated and get better grades because they can afford test preparation. It also looked at a 2004 study by Nancy Foner and George M. Fredrickson who wrote, "To white observers, black immigrants seem more polite, less hostile [and] more solicitous." Many universities brag about diversity, said Swain, but their admissions policies increasingly reflect race and social class, rather than economic need.
