  For Republicans, destroying universities and colleges is a feature, not a bug.

    I don’t like the method, execution, or reasons, but I feel torn as this type of move will force these institutions to restructure for servicing the youth of the USA instead of primarily pricing out the nation in favor of the super wealthy elite from abroad. From that angle, this eventually creates slightly more upward mobility access for social classes that have long been de facto bared from these institutions due to financial competitiveness of a foreign elite. Maybe that perspective is naïve. I comment it to engage with other reasoning people, not dogma or the stupidity of tribalism.

      Might it not just result in them increasing domestic students’ fees to make up the difference?

      This really the most I could hope for in the next 4 years. Accidentally doing some unintended good amidst all the bad.

  I remember when Mao shutting down the schools and strangling the universities of China was looked down upon as a Westerner.

  No joke, this is going to be devastating for the international wood science community.
