The Trump administration is discussing plans to try to block certain colleges from having any foreign students if it decides too many are "pro-Hamas," senior Justice and State Department officials tell Axios.

At the heart of the plan is the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which certifies schools to accept student visa-holders. Institutions have been decertified in the past if the government determines they have too many student-visa holders who are using the education system as a ruse to live and work in the U.S., officials say.

• Now, the Trump administration is threatening to apply that decertification framework to the post-Oct. 7 demonstrations on college campuses.

• "Every institution that has foreign students ... will go through some sort of review," the official said. "You can have so many bad apples in one place that it leads to decertification of the school ... I don't think we're at that point yet. But it is not an empty threat."

Columbia University and UCLA — both of which had controversial, disruptive pro-Palestinian protests last year — are among the schools mentioned the most often by administration officials.

Isolation again which did not bode well for the USA in the past.

2. I think i recall an interview with a foreign student....

I believe they are either not allowed to work, or their work hours are limited. As far as living in the US, it makes the commute to class a whole lot easier!

3. Very limited work hours

I have had several international students assistants, mainly for help with CKJ abd Cyrillic.

4. These students subsidise everyone by paying a high tuition

This will break the current University system. Foreign students dont get financial aid save for working graduate students. Yes Universities ate bloated with overpaid administrators, but I doubt much of that will get cut at first. That whole system is a house of cards and the closures will acclerate and the overall quality of academic research will plument.
