Get a load of this greatness!
For years, we've been told that American universities are sacred temples of higher learning where the world's brightest come to enrich our culture, innovate, and … pay full international tuition to subsidize gender studies departments and DEI commissars.
Well, the Trump administration just took a small step to stop treating F-1 student visas like an all-inclusive, stay-however-long-you'd-like handout.
According to Bloomberg Law, the White House has cleared a final rule from DHS that would replace the ridiculous "duration of status" policy — where foreign students could basically stay indefinitely as long as they were "pursuing" a degree — with a fixed four-year admission period.
After that, they'd have to get their stay approved by Homeland Security.
This is nothing new from Trump. From Bloomberg Law:
The DHS proposal renewed an effort from the first Trump administration that was opposed by medical organizations and college groups, who said it would disrupt students' completion of degrees with unnecessary administrative hurdles.
This too 👇
Predictably, the higher ed crowd is pretending this is some kind of apocalyptic disruption that will prevent students from finishing their degrees.
(As if four years isn't enough time for most programs, or as if extensions couldn't be granted for legitimate cases.)
It's not gonna be that bad, folks.
Seriously, universities have been hooked on this international cash for decades now.
Chinese students alone poured billions into the system.
Some of these students were genuine scholars, sure.
Others were spies, IP thieves, or just part of the larger game of flooding the country with people who have no intention of assimilating. 👇
