"They're not coming over here and enrolling. These courses were designed for them to meet their needs," he said.

From the article "They're not coming over here and enrolling. These courses were designed for them to meet their needs," he said.

I would agree with you if they were enrolling in regularly scheduled classes. But they're not. These classes are being provided specifically for them and paid for specifically by them.

They are here legally and temporarily.

I grew up 20 miles there and went there myself during the summer.

Surely you're not implying that there aren't ~two~ empty classrooms available? It's only 60 people we're talking about.

I'd back you up on the idea that if they're essentially renting the space then they have every right to do there whatever they want to do there.

"but meet in gender-specific classes"

To prevent conjugations no doubt.

It's not clear, but I would assume that Tech also makes a profit from this.

Al Queyda is looking for a good university, too.

The curriculum will be Entry Level (101), Intermediate (200), Advanced (300) and Osama level (400) courses in terrorism. To include, of course, basics in electronics, communications, flight operations, explosives, chemical warfare and "po' boy nukes".

Got a vacant building this summer? Got some faculity (foreign variety, preferred) with nothing better to do?

Have we got a deal for you!

Great. The male classes are target-rich, and the females can be sent home to tell the tale. And we all know how much women talk.

Let's see. We have to do things their way when we are in their country, such as not having Bibles and keeping our women as second class citizens. And when they are in our country we still have to do things their way, as in segregating classrooms by gender.

Somebody needs to take the Saudis aside and tell them that when they are in a country other than their own they are expected to follow the customs of that country. If they don't like that they can get on their camels and ride back to where they came from.

When are we going to start drilling in places like Texas and ANWR so we can tell the Saudis where to stick their oil?

Perhaps a better question would be; when will we 'stick' the Saudi's.

VERY clever!

Seems that most here now accept the abominable construction ''gender'' instead of the accurate (and proper) term ''sex''.

Great shot!

This is America and we don't play these stupid stone-age games.If the Saudi men are unable to follow the rules of this country they should stay out of it.I really think that their abusive treatment of women stems from some kind of sexual inferiority complex.They are so afraid of the things an independent women might say to her friends and neighbors.

Tech gets paid for giving the customer what they want.

You supposed a group from various "far right" Christian or Jewish colleges could get the same sort of treatment.

The reason they want the separate classrooms is religious (or so they'd say, it's really Arabic cultural). The ACLU would have a hissy fit if this was tried for other religious groups.

And where is the NOW gang when you need them?
