If I were a company that owns Star Wars and planned on capitulating to fascist threats, I wouldn't have provided Star Wars fans with two seasons of well-written anti-fascist inspiration right before doing so.

And do you like going to the doctor? This is going to blow up medical training.
Why is this horrible for Universities?
Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card.
This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Yet another thing that will completely destroy the actual existing model of 🇺🇸 higher education. The lack of loud, urgent collective action by university leaders to educate the public & generate pushback on all of these awful policies continues to be glaring.
A lot of people are also missing the students here on F-1 visas that traditionally go the path of: F-1 to H-1B to permanent residency.

You can teach at a university on a J1, but you CAN NOT be hired for a tenure track position on one, only just be here for a couple of years. Tenure track can only be H1B or existing green-card.

The H1-B fiasco that is about to unfold is almost certainly a Stephen Miller Special to continue “whiteifying” the country, packaged in a way that Trump will see as a “deal” that gives him further leverage over companies to do what he wants

Also this.
Times is about six months late to this story. But good that they've shown up.
“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

Our labs are making strides in cancer research that were unimaginable even a decade ago. Their work is irreplaceable in the fight to find a cure.
We talk often about Trump’s anti-science admin endangering lives now, but the impact of defunding research will reverberate for generations to come

This week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s grudge against higher education, what we stand to lose if he continues to withhold federal funding from universities, and which unexpected celebrity may hold the key to eternal youth. And yes, we have compelling evidence on that last point. You’ll see.
