Somebody pointed out that there's one area where the Trump administration has been wildly successful: turning us into a wildly isolationist shithole.
This is doubly frustrating as it's an open secret (if it was ever a secret at all) that international students are a big part of many universities' tuition; they're usually moderately wealthy and can pay outrageous prices. The net effect is that the government is trying to force universities to pretend there is no pandemic and to just go back to "normal" in-person classes. If I were a devious administrator I'd make up a 1 credit hour "leadership" class that's in-person; students can sign up for it if they want to stay, but everything else remains online. Some residence halls already require students to take such a class to live in them so it wouldn't be that unusual.
