On the Trump administration’s decision to kick international students out of the country if their universities go online: a short and angry thread. ice.gov/news/releases/…
This abysmal policy is really a three-fer for the administration.
First, it intentionally undercuts a major revenue source for large, especially public, institutions at a time of massive economic crisis. I don’t like that this is what universities have come to depend on to keep the lights on, but it’s the reality. graphics.wsj.com/international-…
Second, it undercuts the dominance of immigrants at the graduate level in many fields, but especially STEM. This is a win for nativists and isolationists, but a major loss for the U.S., both economically and in terms of soft power. insidehighered.com/quicktakes/201…
Third, it holds universities’ feet to the fire to financially prevent them from being able to go remote when public health requires.

Colleges will have to comply with the necropolitics of the administration – and people *will* die -- or risk their organizational survival.
Anyway, #$%@ this policy and abolish ICE.
