tmoney9999··on ICE changes exemptions for foreign students taking online courses in Fall 2020
My comment was only considering graduate students, whom I think, are the group most affected by this change. Graduate students in STEM usually don't pay tuition--their lab pays the fees for them to be enrolled.

I agree. I'd like to see more educated foreigners stay in the US through a more sensible immigration policy. But another way to attempt to fix the weird brain-drain is by controlling who is getting the education.

Only possible good thing I can see from a US student perspective is that it's now more reasonable to go to grad school in US. Many programs in STEM have gotten out of hand with the number of the foreign graduate students--in some programs the number is over 80% [1]. I think this has led to the US educating many persons who later leave the country for visa issues. Also, some of the competition to get in can be considered bogus: near perfect GRE math which measures high school level math skills is hardly germane for research.

Props to OP.

Not the first study, although it might be the first academic study. . .

This was on HN in 2013, and the same results were reported. https://www.gwern.net/LSD-microdosing
