A Cornell University student facing deportation after his visa was revoked because of his campus activism said he decided to leave the United States.
Momodou Taal, a citizen of the United Kingdom and Gambia, had asked a federal court to halt his detention. But he posted on X late Monday that he didn’t believe a legal ruling in his favor would guarantee his safety or ability to speak out.
“I have lost faith I could walk the streets without being abducted,” Momodou Taal wrote from an unknown location. “Weighing up these options, I took the decision to leave on my own terms.”
We’re going to see an exodus of foreign born students and it’s going to hit college towns hard.
Making US universities “Whites Only” again is a feature of this policy, not a bug.
I think they are much more enlightened these days. They are happy take brown & yellow if they have enough green.
Neoliberals were. But the backlash to even guys as hard-right as Vivek suggests tolerance for the any amount of diversity is plunging.
Sure, but it will seriously hurt universities by making them lose tuition and talent. By extension it’ll hurt university towns by making them lose business and labor.
also makes thier reputation go down, if they start “racist policies” like that.
You’re presuming universities exist to cultivate talent and procure tuition. But what if their primary purpose is to cultivate propaganda, gatekeep social clubs, grant bragging rights to fail kids, and provide sinecures to elite alumni and their friends.
New Haven, CT has one of the highest poverty rates in New England, despite being next door to Yale, home of an elite business school.
Few alumni seem to mind.
That’s only true for private schools.
that maybe for places like harvard and yale, which has desires to return to a white student body, but not all universities have this desire.
🏉 FEWTBHAWWWLLL!!! 🏈
… education might just be an accidental side effect…
And what do you think the purpose of foreign students was? To propagandize foreigners and gatekeep their ruling class. The compradores are trained in US universities, not in schools in their home countries.
Elite universities are like fortress towns all to themselves, so New Haven doesn’t get business from Yale. That’s going to be very different for the relationship between Iowa City and the University of Iowa.
Agreeing with an .ml person, what a day
But yeah , not going to their home countries uni maybe a question of their countries uni being 50 years behind (i attended uni in a 3rd world country as a chem eng and we were using equipment from the 60s and 70s)
probably less internship(if your lucky) and volunteer lab work as well.
Except its not abt white people only, because any other foreign Student ist going to avoid American Universities now. So, it will be for the American, whites only students, restricting international Exchange of ideas and understanding. Not too Long until they are going to target the education to cater to this exclusive group, removing all diverse topics and critical Thinking teaching subjects. Because a populace brought Into their political Line zu s easier to manage and keep under Control.
I think you’ll find plenty of Euro-White Nationalists - particularly Orban-stans, Le Penn fans, Reform UK types, and AfDers - welcomed in with open arms.
Also, lots of Israelis.

Foreign students often pay more tuition if I’m not mistaken
and university actively seek them out too, without they suffer financially. in the west state uni are suffering from under-enrollment so much they have to cut back classes and staff as it is, due to the lack of career development job search during covid. this will just add on to that.
They do, also it’s a wider talent pool and more chance of recruiting the best and brightest.
its mostly because they pay alot more as a non-citizen and out of state, “the best student is usually secondary” its all about the money. as a non-student if you do post bacc at many state university, or 4 year, it cost alot more to attend classes, no discounts compared to be an undergrad.
MUCH more.
Many times more, in some cases. If foreign students don’t come, then schools will have to charge everyone more. And they need a certain amount of normies footing the bill as there just aren’t enough rich bitch students to make up the slack. If they price it out of reach of normies they’re slowly fucked.
With a probable closing of Department of Education soon we’re also going to see the elimination of Pell Grants probably. So basically colleges are about to be gutted.
Which is the Republicans long held goal. They need less college educate people, not more.
Yeah they wanted to hurt the elite universities - but they missed their targets and will instead hurt all of the third tier state schools that actually have low enough barriers to cater to everyone.
And American ones who see the danger and have the means to go abroad.
Not nealrly as much as electing Musk did. (Since this is just one symptom of it)
