Wouldn't that just mean allowing more Americans to attend university? I though most people agreed the inflated tuitions were unnecessary for actual learning. EDIT: Wow, the largest ever tuition increase happened this year, a 3.4% average increase. https://research.collegeboard.org/trends/college-pricing/figures-tables/average-published-charges-2018-19-and-2019-20 https://research.collegeboard.org/trends/college-pricing/fig... Here's the kicker: >Part-time faculty and teaching assistants now account for half of instructional staffs at colleges and universities, up from one-third in 1987, the figures show. >During the same period, the number of administrators and professional staff has more than doubled. That’s a rate of increase more than twice as fast as the growth in the number of students. https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_4738584 https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_4738584

  Do you realize how much money international students inject into the US education and just general US economy as well?

    It's all fueled by debt, and that debt bubble is popping.

  That's the funny thing. All those administrators? Americans. All the funding for them? International students. Masters degrees for international students are a drug that American universities got really hooked on. Now they're going to have withdrawal.

    I hope so. They are basically selling spots to the highest bidder. My sympathies are with the American students who dont get in to the school they are most qualified for because there's always a foreign student who can pay full fare. Administrators doing this are in the wrong.

      Instead those universities will have to charge more to US citizens or cut back their programs and fewer citizens will be able to get a degree.

      Not many American students want to get graduate degrees compared to international students and most people who apply get into the programs. They're not free for Americans. They pay in state if they're residents at state schools or pay the same as international students if at a private school or if theyre out of state.

This will be a terrible economic loss for US universities come this fall.
