They're educating people to a higher standard for a fraction of the cost

This is unfair and can't be allowed to continue

Meanwhile the US is locking up foreign students simply for being vocal.

Most universities have cut their budgets this year. A lot of Small Private Colleges are closing, merging, or otherwise not doing too hot.

Big universities with massive endowments will be fine, but there's a lot more colleges than that.

Expenses increasing at a higher rate than revenue

My fault for not being explicit. They're facing financial challenges because the state isn't investing in them, was my thinking.
