Lots of lost revenue. Not good.One of my contacts at Arts and Sciences (a fundraiser, of course) told me a couple of weeks ago that before the pandemic the College had 257 foreign students enrolled. Today the number is approximately 50. The other Colleges/Departments/Schools likely have similar numbers.
I’m worried when the light bulbs go out on our high living room ceilings - who do we call to replace them? We’re very handy here
I do know how to turn on a flashlight though.
This is not the result of changing demographics as this tread has been discussing, but rather a conscious decision of the government to minimize student visas.
That number seems low as a quick search reveals SU’s student population is 25% foreign at the graduate level and 17-20% undergraduate. I think a lot of people were surprised, and not in a good way, at the percentages of foreign students at leading U.S. universities (and SU is probably below the median).
Screening of foreign students by the gov has been suboptimal for decades and it has had consequences. Hence why this is being scrutinized more now.
Maybe…the more I use it the more I feel it just says stuff regardless of the answer. Additionally I am not sure the business model use case works. The compute power need is parabolic. Energy is limited. $ are limited. And if AI companies tokenize cost structure how incentivized are they to make their engines better and more efficient.
What’s the evidence for your statement?
