Acc. to a news article published @ Economictimes, Stanford University is exploring options of opening an overseas campus.
They already have an intl. center at Peking University in Bejing.
Stanford University President John L Hennessy is looking at Delhi, Mumbai and Pune as viable options for setting up such an overseas campus.
Stanford in Palo Alto, about 2 hours drive from my place, has Indians as the second largest foreign students community at its campus. Apart from this, India-born faculty contribute to about one-fourth of the total 128 Asian-born faculty working at the university. Generally on weekends desis can be spotted in and around Stanford playing cricket.
