What COVID did for hospitality, this will do for higher ed. Let them make some tough decisions and pare back from the bloat they attained on consumers’ dime.
Hmmm...well, does that mean there are more freebies for US students?🤨
Let them fire some DEI apparatchiks.
Math is hard.
To get “tuition-free college” in New York through the Excelsior Scholarship, you must be a New York State resident, be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, be pursuing an associate’s or bachelor’s degree at a SUNY or CUNY college, and have a combined federal adjusted gross income (AGI) of $125,000 or less.
You must also maintain full-time enrollment (at least 12 credits per term), complete 30 credits per year, and agree to live and work in New York State after graduation for a duration equal to the number of years you received the scholarship.
So many colleges are a pathetic mind-control joke. Many of them should go out of business. Society would be much better off without these centers of Lefty propaganda brainwashing naive young people.

Amen
The eneMedia didn’t worry like this when US manufacturing was crippled by turning it over to Chinese slave labor.
Colleges were not supposed to have so many foreigners in the first place.
Winning. America already has all the foreign maggots we need. We are not a nation of faggoty, rioters and haters. They need to stay home.
Of which 500,000 will be spies.
Anything the government subsidizes generally makes bureaucrats rich. In the case of colleges and public schools, many bureaucrats, administrators and teachers are being paid above their counterparts in sectors not subsidized by govt.
Remove the government teat from our schools; let them shrink or disappear on their own weight - i.e., let 'American student' supply and demand determine their prosperity and NOT foreigners and govt taxpayers.
GTFO. Close the door. immigration moratorium until 2050.
Good!
If so many of these foreign students and professors were not involved in taking down numerous American flags, burning them and raising another flag, then it might make better sense to let them into the country. At this time it might be best to prohibit such obvious enemies into the USA.

The National Defense Education Act (NDEA) was signed into law on September 2, 1958, providing funding to United States education institutions at all levels.
NDEA was among many science initiatives implemented by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958 to increase the technological sophistication and power of the United States alongside, for instance, DARPA and NASA. It followed a growing national sense that U.S. scientists were falling behind scientists in the Soviet Union. The early Soviet success in the Space Race catalyzed a national sense of unease with Soviet technological advances, especially after the Soviet Union launched the first-ever satellite, Sputnik, the previous year.
In 1940 about one-half million Americans attended college, which was about 15 percent of their age group. By 1960, however, college enrollments had expanded to 3.6 million. By 1970, 7.5 million students were attending colleges in the United States, or 40 percent of college-age youths.
The act, therefore, was designed to fulfill two purposes. First, it was designed to provide the country with specific defense oriented personnel. This included providing federal help to foreign language scholars, area studies centers, and engineering students. Second it provided financial assistance—primarily through the National Defense Student Loan program—for thousands of students who would be part of the growing numbers enrolling at colleges and universities in the 1960s.
NDEA established the National Defense Student Loan (NDSL) program to provide low-interest federal loans to “promising, yet needy students”, and to enable them to pursue undergraduate and graduate educations. The national defense student loans were especially targeted toward students who possessed superior capacity in mathematics, engineering, or a modern foreign language or who desired to teach in elementary or secondary schools.

No wonder U.S. colleges are in a panic over the limitations in foreign enrollment. To maintain college freshman levels with only domestic students, the needed replacement rate in the U.S. is an average 2.1 births per woman. In 2010 (representing the college freshman class of 2028), the average replacement rate in the U.S. was 2.4 births for Hispanic women, 2.1 births for Black women, 1.8 births for White women, and 1.8 births for Asian women.
Worse still for future domestic college freshman class sizes, the replacement rate has been going down across the board. In 2022, the average replacement rate was 1.97 births for Hispanic women, 1.64 births for Black women, 1.57 births for White women, and 1.35 births for Asian women.
With the millions the college steal from “students” for “tuition”, the crooks shouldn’t be facing “financial struggles” unless they are paying a fake injun with higher than normal gluteus maximus bones from Massachusetts a million bucks to teach one class for the communists.
