Those kids need to learn a trade instead of whatever they are learning right now. Why do they need those white coats and stethoscopes anyway.
He's cutting funding for skilled trade education too.
Step by step, he's been limiting vocational, college, and military options for Black men.

But yeah, racists like Trump have special resentment towards Black professionals.

Could this force universities to finally decrease costs?
Probably wishful thinking, the most desirable programs will just pivot to recruiting international students

Yeah that's probably wishful thinking :francis:

Most likely result is fewer students enrolling, which means staff being laid off, which hurts the economy further.

:mjlol:

Like I said they gonna get their money either way, they don’t care where it comes from. The students and taxpayers themselves will bear the brunt of this.

Or what you said, bye bye American students

What I find amazing is that even though every other ethnicity voted for this more than Black people, many of you in this thread turn your ire towards Black people. No smoke for the Hispanics, no smoke for the Asians, no smoke for the Whites. All the smoke for Black people.

Evil White man enacts a law that harms many. The response: You Black people should have voted against this more!

The people you're talking about aren't in this thread.

We have no control over how other communities vote :yeshrug: but if people in our community are voting for harmful policies they should be criticized

This what people voted for. He loves the uneducated.

Then they can import Indian visa workers rondo higher learning jobs for much much less and not even guarantee them citizenship. This is the way.

#bothsidebootlickers make sure to let your kids know they will have a higher time getting a higher education and it won't be because they can't perform in school but because the government wants to limit access to it.

From taking away Black specific scholarships to even capping access to funding despite it being loans is very telling. Yes this affects everyone but not everyone needs the max loans. This will affect the people who are trying to jump tax brackets and social economic class hurdles the most despite them having the work ethic and smarts.

We only 6 months into this year ladies and gentlemen. How much of your country has been dismantled already?

Young ppl are by far the most apathetic to voting and it affects them the most
Bu-bu-but age limits. If there was an election to institute age limits on officials, they’d probably sit that out too or would say they’re too busy.

It's idiotic, but loudmouths on the Internet will make you think there are more black Trump supporters than there really are.
I generally ignore internet chatter. Everybody has a right to their opinion, but that doesnt mean that I should care about the random thoughts of every random person.


What I was talking about was the segment of voters that gave Trump a bump in support in '24 versus '20.


No matter what their respective reasons were, within a week into his second term its clear that those individuals made a mistake. I get the impression that the biggest support came from young men The very segment who may be facing fewer job,career, and business opportunities than their fathers did, if Trump has his way.

Nope. They are expensive programs because you have to compensate all of these highly skilled professors that are dentists, pharmacists, doctors, lawyers, clinical psychologists, etc for the opportunity cost of their time. If you tell somebody who is normally earning $300,000 that their new teaching pay is going to be $150,000, you won't be able to run a training program at all.

And this ignores all of the complex training equipment, pharmaceuticals, reagents, , specialized facilities, etc which have already been purchased , oftentimes from loans by educational institutions at predefined, long-term interest rates.


So this will act exactly like a tariffs do. Just like the importer can't magically reduce the price of the item because a tariffs made it expensive, The schools can't reduce the cost of their professional programs.

I suspect that more programs will open their doors to foreigners. For every under represented medical or legal applicant , there are thousands of wealthy foreigners who would love to get those coveted American slots. Up until now the foreign slots have been restricted. But that may change
