#College students see F-1 visas canceled in new #Trump tactic

« …school officials say the govt is quietly deleting foreign student records instead of going thru colleges, as done in the past.

Students are being ordered to leave the country with a suddenness that universities have rarely seen.

In the past, when int’l students had entry visas revoked, they could keep legal residency. »

This year, our program includes discussions on Indigenous perspectives and Institutional food system alternatives with a tour of the George Brown Campus Chef School and gardens, complete with a lunch made by student chefs. We also invite participants to engage in a poster session and mentor chats with established scholars and community leaders.

Is #College Still Worth It Economically?
Yes—but who benefits most is constantly changing
In 2023, the last year for which data is available, 25- to 34-year-olds with a bachelor’s degree earned exactly 200%—or twice as much—as people from the same cohort without one did. That’s a nice chunk of change, sure, but as more of the population earns a degree, that premium is getting smaller. In 1960 young adults with a degree saw the premium in their earning power peak at 237%.

Things have taken a turn for me in both good and bad ways recently. I got accepted into my dream school, but I'm struggling to be able to afford to go. And since being accepted into my dream school and wanting to leave my abusive household, I'm at an even higher risk of homelessness now. Anything helps greatly, even just sharing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :QueerCat_Trans:

Ok... it's become apparent that I'm going to need extra hands for my little video series pilot for class... I have dire need of a drone operator with an aerial camera who's willing to help for kudos and a free lunch in the Cincinnati area.
I'll process the raw footage, but need footage of 4 locations. Please DM if interested.
Please share for broader reach
