If Trump’s goal is to hobble higher edication, he’s found a good way to go about it & feed his xenophobic base. www.nafsa.org/about/about-...

I work with international students professionally. in fact, I just went to the NAFSA conference in San Diego a couple of months ago. The general air was one of immediate crisis, and the language used was "catastrophic". My employer is a top 50 university. We will survive. But many will not.

Without foreign students, tuition for US students is going to rise. That's because foreign students generally pay full tuition, and this income helps universities pay the bills without increasing tuition. theworld.org/stories/2024...

Exactly. Not only will our economy suffer the loss of those funds, but also loss of revenue from tourism. Who in their right mind would come here? The world is watching in horror the immigrant abductions.

Yeah, the rest of the world may not be actively spewing anti-higher ed rhetoric, anti-science, anti-cultural heritage, anti-public health; but most are just defunding it, with occasional special funding schemes for distraction. 💔 Happy to hear of structural counter-examples (Finland?)

Anti education would certainly suit one projection of the future where a tiny legacy elite are overlords over a rump collection of feudal states full of climate ravaged, dirty, ignorant and penniless serfs desperate for any sort of work. I’m not that cynical but I know a lot are!

I really am a fan of all the good things that ERC grants have brought, and we all benefit from what comes out of these projects and the international collaborations within Europe. But actual jobs for junior scholars would also be a pretty great thing. You can still give incentives to talk to others.

On the other topic, why are they paying. Whose civil rights were abused and why wouldn't they get the money not the WH. Why would UCLA pay a billion when frozen funds are $500+ million. When bullies take your lunch money they come back the next day.
