[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smaller college class sizes, we might even see colleges reposition to have long term reduced sizes, many less students in financial aid getting spots, fewer international students, more endowment dollars put towards research and potentially colleges omitting research experiences from their tours/websites, higher demand for low-cost majors (humanities, social sciences and stem programs that don’t require extensive lab equipment)[/quote]

No, every expert is saying that class sizes will increase at schools due to the budget cuts and threats of financial cuts from Trump. Tuition will go up AND more students will be added into already large classes to gain more tuition dollars to offset some of the funding cuts. The teacher student ration will get worse. There will also be some brain drain and professor attrition to great schools outside the US (such as the international relations trio of Prof's leaving Yale to join U of Toronto).

So college will cost more, classes will be bigger, and we may lose some great profs.

Also there will be cost cutting everywhere to recover some of the missing funds.[/quote]
If you’re reducing financial aid spending, you can shrink your class sizes and demand less professors leading to layoffs for non tenure track faculty. Right now they’re spending hundreds of millions to get kids financial aid. They could easily gain revenue by just accepting full pay students and reserving a very limited portion of the budget to the poor.[/quote]
