Did you bother to read the article? Parents aren't climbing the walls so they can hand their kids cheat notes through the window in America.

To answer your question: what makes the world go 'round? $$$$$$$$

I graduated form Rochester. They love foreigners, who don't get financial aid and pay the entire bill upfront.

Certain cultures are ambitious, focus on a good education, and don't cause problems (crime and drinking). It's really a win win situation for universities. I visited a college campus recently and was surprised at the difference in lifestyle. The majority of drunk students were white. The majority of students with backpacks going in and out of the library were Asian and Indian.
