1.The admission policy and equal access policy at purdue.
2.Most of the questoins show the knowledge of the interviewee. The interviewee could answer all the questions based on his work experience.
3.He include both opinion based and fact based questions. More opinion based quesions should be added.
4.The questions are less provocative. It seems most of the questions are at the same emotional level.
5.The questions are based on the logical flow. He concerned about the situation at purdue and then came out the questions envoloved with chinese students.
6.All the questions are making sense...

In order to generate "provocative" questions, you might have to wait for some of his answers (like his views of standardized tests). If he answers one way, you might challenge him with logic used by the other side.
For question one, I added one measure of diversity. You might ask him about others (race, country, gender, economic status).
