This will be bad for: - the students - the research progress - the universities - the towns the universities are in - the companies hiring students - the states the universities are in - the national economy - national security - the country - the world

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

Today in every day people fighting back: Private equity forced a beloved bar in my hometown that had been there for decades to close and this is how the owner is closing up - by giving back to his community.

“I teach a subject that is now considered ‘controversial,’” a professor in North Carolina wrote. “As a result, I have had a non-student with a gun enter my classroom to intimidate me. I have received an email death threat from a student.” lailluminator.com/2026/09/10/u...

I've worked at CUNY Brooklyn College for 15 years. Every year, CUNY outperforms on this specific measure and decade after decade we are chronically underfunded, resulting in crumbling infrastructure, under-staffing of departments/admin offices/student services. The cavalry is not coming.

At the other extreme, seven of the top 10 spots on our ROI list are held by colleges in the City University of New York (CUNY) system. They routinely outperform other state systems, and most Ivy league schools on our ROI measure. This is largely thanks to their low tuition and fees, the fact that many students save money by living at home, and the access they provide to well-paying jobs across a range of industries in New York City. If you are a resident of New York, tuition costs you less than $10,000 a year. Ten years after graduating, alumni bring home a median salary around $85,000 a year. To be sure, New York City has a high cost of living. But the access and network a CUNY degree provides for some jobs can’t be beat—at least not at that cheap price.

Brooklyn College just ranked #3️⃣ nationwide on @forbes.com’s new ROI list! Pairing affordable tuition with outstanding outcomes—graduates earn a median salary over $82,000 10 years out—the college continues to open doors and deliver exceptional value.

The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents cut more than 200 courses from the core curriculum across 11 universities on Thursday, in response to a state law requiring all general education classes to be “foundational and fundamental.” bit.ly/4iQNt0K

Weird viewpoint in JAMA Psych. The authors start from a misunderstanding(?) of modern psychometrics and then propose a reinvention of psychometrics with a different name? What am I missing? The main citation on their idea isn't much clearer. @eikofried.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"A projected 111,000 fewer international students are expected in the U.S. this fall — a more than 9% drop in enrollment. A coalition of higher education organizations (AND UNIONS) sued the Department of Homeland Security to prevent the rule from taking effect." www.wuky.org/wuky-news/20...

U.S. colleges, universities brace for loss of international students

The Trump administration is capping the length of time international students can legally remain in the U.S., and declines in their enrollment could spell disaster for colleges and universities.

Yale President McInnis has been telling people that Yale has no choice but to negotiate a settlement with the Trump administration. This is a willful misreading of the law and as such, a lie. A resolution process is voluntary and legal scholars have been pushing back. 1/ abcnews.com/US/yale-face...
