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-...

Everyone loses with Trump except the billionaires and corporations. Oh, and him and his family.
Even the poorly educated are way smarter than Trump.
It’s just heartbreaking what this monster is doing to universities.
It's also heartbreaking that this fraudulent, traitorous monster isn't in prison, where he belongs.
🤬🤬
Scott Jennings Does not care. CNN does not care The MAGA/QAnon 77 million Voters do not care. The Republican House & Senate do not care. The right wing SCOTUS does not care. The Billionaires do not care. Wall Street Corporations do not care. The Project 2025 Christian White Nationalists do not care.
He has no goal. He is like a fish in a bowl where everything is a new experience. Every hour of every day will change.
'I love the poorly educated.' Why do you think Trump believes that?
I’m going go on a limb and say trump didn’t come up with this all by himself. He’s not that smart.
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.
And Europe 🇪🇺as well by supporting fascist and ultra-right nationalist parties 🤯
Prophetic and unfolding before our eyes. Useful idiots spurring it on.
His goal is to destroy it. Stupidity is easily led.
Lingering widespread pain must be felt to sweat this Donvirus out of the body politic…..
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...
They are intending to destroy it
@aidanosullivan.bsky.social
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.
Trump's goal? it's been the goal of the Republican party to hobble public education ever since the GI Bill basically. and especially since people started protesting against wars and in favor of civil rights, I mean, come on.
It’s a race to the bottom with these idiots
Fortunately no other country is following the USA on this downward course, in fact between the laughs we’re earnestly planning how we’re going to divide up the spoils between us.
I think you'll find the UK is doing just the same if at a slightly slower rate.
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.
Do you think he hasn’t gone against Wharton because they might release his grades?
And even assuming America replaces this craven madman with a sane, intelligent, compassionate leader in '28 (no given - see ‘16 and esp ‘24), what international student would ever want to come here now that we’ve shown what we are capable of doing? Will take years to rebuild that trust
Notice the word “could”. I love the liberal doom and gloom scenarios.
The dumber of America. All power and control.
That on top of U.S. product boycotts, and the cherry on the cake, the tourism industry is tanking. So 3 LARGE money makerd for the U.S., all LOSING BILLIONS. But, go ahead and tell how the U.S. is the greatest country in the world
The brain drain will hamper the country for years to come.
People interested can look at the state-by-state predicted revenue declines. Red states are not exempted from the impacts. Buncha fuckin asshats.
So much winning. 😩
His goal is dealing a fatal blow to #ruleoflaw by not being #impeached So far, it’s working.
So much for creating income and wealth in USA
Those days are now officially over. And Putin is absolutely loving it.
This is starting to remind me of the Great Leap Forward. All the programs Mao imposed to try to industrialize the country and boost the economy, so misguided and short-sighted that millions of people starved to death!
So much winning
The loss of all those tourism dollars, will be another big loss this year!
Only to the USA! USA - making the whole world richer whilst it withers away.
How fuckin' sad is it that the "greatest country in the world" is becoming a place that people are afraid to come to?
