It's all part of the Project 2025 plan to destroy high education in America.
All leading US universities depend on federal funding and tuition dollars from international students. They severely curtailed the former. Now they're eliminating the latter.

Tomorrow is Gambling Disorder Screening Day. If you're hosting an event, think about providing resources to people who gamble and affected others. Times of uncertainty and anxiety can lead to recovery challenges for many. #GDSD #PGAM
