It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

The thing about the justification, "We have to do it or they will go after xyz next" is.... after you do it, they're still gonna go after xyz next.

Turkish elections are free until the ruling party decides the elected is not fit to govern and appoints instead its own candidate, not selected by the voters. #van

Humbling: "Dreams of a Lifetime belongs to a particular shelf, one that holds those books that utilize sociology seriously to best capture the pulse of the U.S. at a particular juncture in time." Benzecry compares it to work by Riesman, Slater, Putnam, Sennett, Bellah, Liebow, Desmond. (SOCF:38:4)

Say it again. We can have our disagreements, but when a state deems sociology unworthy of fulfilling core requirements, the only response from sociologists should be a resounding and united oh hell no.
