Yep, pretty much, if you’re talking about state schools.

And that’s by design. They’re doing their best to undermine higher education in any way they can because Steven Miller et al think that’s where the “woke mind virus” comes from, and also know that educated people are not only somewhat harder to grift, but also tend to think Miller and his ilk are (at the very least) massive assholes

Which is possibly the most American thing somebody could do today.

Dear international students,

There are better colleges than the ones in this shit hole country. Go somewhere you'll be safe, because the US is not that place right now.

Aren’t USA’s university students’ tuition subsidized by the federal government and states to some degree? But, foreign students are paying the full cost?

Won’t fewer foreign students mean more expensive education for USA residents?

What that really means is they'll be vetted for any indications of disliking Trump.
