>Universities import foreign labor and they under pay given their monopoly

Given that there's hundreds of schools with thousands of grad programs to choose from, with none of them having more than a tiny percentage of the total market, this is not monopoly pricing.

It's simply supply and demand. People are willing to show up and work for the vast majority of these programs.

Yes. This isn’t a monopoly, so it’s not monopoly pricing. That leaves competitive pricing.
