#students,
So, thing that is apparently better understood inside academia than outside of it:

International students pay sticker price. Most domestic students do not. International students are subsidizing the education costs for domestic students, as per student governmental funding drops.
The Vice President’s parents-in-law came to the United States as foreign students, at the University of California.

Also, a total lie that American students have been crowded out by international students. International students effectively subsidize the tuition of American students!
Quite a feat to go from this to "and therefore universities must ban faculty and students from belittling conservative ideas"

A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Private school vouchers fund discrimination against students with disabilities, LGBT students, non-religious students, and students of color.

Taxpayer vouchers should not be funding discrimination.

Foreign students pay full tuition so that universities can give financial aid to students from the US.
"Last week, Vance said foreign students at elite U.S. universities are 'not just bad for national security,' but also 'bad for the American dream, for American kids who want to go to a nice university but can’t because their spot was taken by a foreign student.'"

this is literally the future republicans want: public funds for segregation academies and religious private schools that actively discriminate against LGBT students or students with special needs
NEW: Private schools across the South that were established for white children during desegregation are now benefiting from tens of millions in taxpayer dollars flowing from rapidly expanding voucher-style programs, a @propublica analysis found.

Every time they make it harder for foreign students to study here, they're just jacking up the tuition costs for American students and robbing America of incredible new talent too.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

now here's an alarmingly common sentiment among engineering students
Am I missing something here?

In what universe would an engineering student ever study history?!

Do many history students study engineering?!

I *enjoyed* history at school, and I was *good* at it. But no way would I ever have studied it at university.

This is so far over the line I don't even know where to begin.

Trying to get students -- your own students -- expelled or deported because of political activism?

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

Our students don’t deserve this. For those who don’t understand UT Austin admissions, most undergrads get in bc they were top 5% of their graduating class, from a Texas high school. Anyone calling for more white students is advocating for race conscious admissions - to help out white students.
From the official Dept of Education account on X, an endorsement of Bo French's racist tweet about Indian students at a University of Texas football game. Just awful.

What Vance is doing here is ENORMOUS disinformation. International students at the undergrad level typically pay full tuition, which subsidizes tuition for American students on financial aid by keeping tuition costs lower. At the grad level, domestic students are harder to recruit!
"Last week, Vance said foreign students at elite U.S. universities are 'not just bad for national security,' but also 'bad for the American dream, for American kids who want to go to a nice university but can’t because their spot was taken by a foreign student.'"
