Comment period ends on Monday for a proposed rule change that would terminate student visas after 4 years. It also puts limits on exchange visitors and reps of foreign media, and shortens the length of time at the end of the visa from 60 days to 30 days.

This is undoubtedly bad for American universities. But i do have a question about how university finance works. College tuitions keep increasing, overhead rates keep increasing, both faculty number and faculty salaries stagnated, where did the money go? !
1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.
