U.S. officials now require universities to closely track foreign nationals who use student visas to study in the United States

So we're relying on college employees to keep track of terrorists? Great.

It's worse than you think - the ones actually doing it are probably work-study students... :)

In August, the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement alerted intelligence agencies and state and local law enforcement about 11 Egyptian students who had failed to report to their classes at Montana State University.

Something seems kind of fishy about this story.

MSU Fall semester didn't begin until September in 2006 [like many schools]. Yet, the alert concerning the "students" came in August, one month before classes even began?

Here's a link to MSU 2006 Fall schedule clearly showing classes didn't begin until September:

yup. Pretty scary - when a lot of the staff can't even interpret a student's billing account or change an address record. And.... in particular areas, higher ed is starving for enrollment and look at the foreign student as a source of $$$$$. And if that isn't enough, just to complicate matters:
