[quote=Anonymous]The Administration has moved methodically to reduce the number of intl students in the US. It is working - the number has dropped each of the last 3 years. Here’s another piece of the plan —> https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/05/29/trump-administration-reportedly-considers-restrictions-foreign-student-work-program

This ICE plan to enforce a policy that makes sense in normal time during a pandemic obviously affects current students. But it will have a long term negative impact on our economy. Many international students stay (legally) and create companies and jobs and wealth here. But every international student contributes to our economy: they buy food, goods and services, travel, housing - in addition to their tuition.

This has another benefit: pressure  colleges and universities to open and hold face to face classes even if the science isn’t there or the colleges decide it can’t be done safely.

Not having classes or students in residence is a reminder that we have mismanaged the pandemic.

It is also easier to block US college students from voting if they are at home and not away at school.

Next up - forcing K12 to fully open or risk funding or some other BS. Because Trump will do anything to win. [/quote]
