Stand back.
Rescind this illegal, and immoral order. The absurdity of threatening the people of the United States with their own military—
Act like the Commander-in-Chief.
If you want to be president, at least try to play the part.
Fake it, if nothing else.
Stand back—
We’ll clean up your mess.

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.
That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.
