Again, there is no plan for running our universities without federal funding, or foreign students, at scale. But the public has no idea about this because no. one. is. telling. them. this. They expect their kids are still going to be able to do all the things at college in the next 4 years, & well:
The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:
1. Federal grants 2. Private gifts/endowments 3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students) 4. State $
For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

I may not go back to bed. I think I only want to stay in bed so long when my alarm goes off at either 5:00 or 5:30 for work. But if I can actually sleep till 7:00, then I’m in a decent mood.
