Yes. And how wonderful it is. This is the second part of Trump’s plan to crack these liberal insane asylums. First pull their federal funding. Then deny them the foreign students who pay 100% of the school’s outrageous tuition.

Columbia is a terrorist madrassa and should be handled accordingly.

They can learn to budget and trim waste, like real human beings have to when living life.

Make it a yearly fee instead.

How is it that Columbia is unable to educate their own students to become viable candidates for these positions?

They can use some of that multi-billion dollar endowment fund.

I thought it was a yearly thing, the $100K fee. But I could be mistaken...

Doesn’t fit with their agenda, the elimination of freedom, the US, and the white race.

They first announced it was a yearly fee, then backtracked to a onetime fee.

Ahh. I thought it should have been a yearly fee. They can probably amortize the cost of a one time fee over several years and it won’t hurt as much.

We want it to hurt.

“Columbia University braces for potential $20 million burden as new H-1B visa fee targets universities”

20 mil is the price of a box of crackerjacks for a university that has an endowment valued at $14.8 billion ... so need for anyone to sob, be alarmed, or clutch their pearls ...

Hold on. This is confusing. I thought leftists wanted higher fees and taxes to go to the government.

Maybe it’s just they want other people to have higher taxes and fees.

As another poster pointed out the other day, straight white American males won’t slave away all hours of the day as researchers on projects or as TAs being paid a small stipend. They have a choice and can always quit in the middle of a project for a more lucrative paycheck with no real repercussions. Foreign students would be sent home in disgrace if they did the same thing.
