1. Letter to the Editor regarding Norway foreign students column
I disagree with several issues that Paul Beaumont advocates in “Foreign students: Benefit or burden to Norway?” (April 14, 2013). In part, his logic is faulty; in full, his evidence is lacking.
2. Foreign students: Benefit or burden to Norway?
