Criticisms and Controversy
In March 2011 Sir James Dyson, the founder and current managing director of Dyson gave an interview to the Sunday Times newspaper in the UK; he said that foreign students take the science and technology knowledge home with them after completing their studies. Dyson said some overseas students continue to pose a threat even after leaving the UK. "Britain is very proud about the number of foreign students we educate at our universities, but actually all we are doing is educating our competitors." "I've seen frightening examples. Bugs are even left in computers so that the information continues to be transmitted after the researchers have returned home."
David Willetts, the government minister responsible for British universities, said he will thoroughly investigate the statement provided by James Dyson.

Famous quotes containing the words criticisms and/or controversy:
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
