Is this the pull up the ladder phenomenon?

Yes

And yet they will have to learn the hard way that their desire to have proximity to white people will not protect them.

Less competition from Asian students, means less-qualified Americans get in.

Let's see, how's that work???

My child's grad stem program was, until this year, considered the best in the world.

Not the US, the WORLD.

About half the students in her cohort were from Asia.

Excluding these students means my DD's grad program is no longer be the best in the world.

Those brilliant students from Asia are enrolling in European and Canadian universities now, making European and Canadian stem programs the best in the world.

America second -- or third or fourth or fifth....

Yea!!!

Not a chance. Prices will go up as less folks paying full price come to study. And when has anything ever gone down in the U.S.? We need a complete overhaul of our system where anyone with a 3.0 gpa in high school can go to school for next to nothing.

Exactly.

Common sense.

Extreme ignorance.

You don’t have any understanding at all of how American universities work.

There are plenty of smart, well-informed conservatives out there, but you’re not them.

Fewer talented immigrants to make our economy vibrant. More poorly prepared Americans in our colleges. Not something to celebrate.

It is not. We will be mad when all of the innovation is happening elsewhere because no one to come here.

We'll be scared when there is a Chinese base on the moon looking down on us

Should we care more about our grad stem programs being the best in the world or that our grad stem programs educate American students? I'm very liberal myself, but I don't understand the liberal stance on this.

It's not high demand that is raising tuition. The vast majority of private and public colleges and univercisties are desperate for students and will be more so as the "demographis cliff" hits. International students and research dollars kept tuition lower (not low!) for us students. These funsing sources of universities are in peril. Expect tuition to rise (more) or schools to go online or close.

Need to shut down certain majors that are not popular or are unprofitable at small and mid-size schools. Not every college or university needs one of each of these majors.

Or we could have foreign students pay tuition and not shut down those majors. Which is more important? Educational opportunities for Americans or your xenophobia?

How is this xenophobia you moron? It's financially untenable to have unpopular bullsh!t majors that lose money at every single college. Get rid of them and lower the tuition a little. It's also the little enclaves in colleges where white DEI get schools they have no business attending.

Indian student enrollment in US universities has dropped by nearly 75% in the first year of the second administration of Donald Trump.

According to reports from various education consultants, this is due to visa checks, fewer interview slots, and large-scale visa cancellations as the main reasons behind this sharp fall.

Reacting to the situation, V. Ramgopal Rao, Vice-Chancellor of BITS Pilani, said the sharp fall in enrolments should not be seen as temporary.

A culture that exports its own children has no hope

Don't be an idiot. People from overseas come here for an education for many reasons. They pay alot to do so and offset instate and other discounted tuition. They, in general, work hard and contribute to science, tech, etc. Some of them stay longer, temporarily or permanently. And they are set up for a better life. This is a sort of soft diplomacy that is important, esp with the rest of it getting gutted by the Orange Menace.

How many times does this same thing need to be explained on this forum? Magas are not understanding, may need to spell it out s-l-o-w-l-y

Ummm....that's not how it works. International students pay the full amount of tuition which helps keep it lower for our kids.

Once again the explanation over and over yet they still don't understand

She still has that job? Look for it to get consolidated

Again another explanation on another thread. Those that don't understand most likely failed Econ in college

And since they can’t rely on US job then the don’t want a US education

Had nothing to do with the excellence of US universities and everything to do with US globalists wanting cheap labor

Say bye bye to your tech obsessions, mags
