US quota rule bypassed by Kuwaiti students

The students quota regulation at US universities would not apply on Kuwaiti students, said an official at National Union for Kuwaiti Students (NUKS) US-branch here Saturday. Head of the Administrative committee to the branch Nasser Ali bin Nasser said that the achievement came after a NUKS delegation met with Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr. Nayef Al-Hajraf and other ministry officials, adding that the ministry understood the issue at hand and did its best to bypass the regulation so that it would not apply on Kuwaiti students. With the regulation being carried out by several US universities, NUKS and the Ministry successfully excluded Kuwaiti students from the regulation, said bin Nasser who indicated that the number of Kuwaiti students have been increasing in recent years which made it important that such regulation, mainly applying American students, would not apply on them.
