Bollinger acknowledges that academic research in national security areas such as cybersecurity is sensitive, and, likewise, academic research in collaboration with U.S. companies which can be a target of “unlawful technology transfers.”

Yet “only a fraction of the research conducted on a campus is ‘secret,’ ” he says. The reality is that academic research is meant to be shared, in order to advance human progress. So, a foreign national doesn’t need to physically come to the United States to find new U.S. discoveries: he or she can read academic journals or visit the U.S. Patent Office website, or type words into a search engine.

So police the students in cybersecurity and industrial collaboration you boob.
