Would this disincentivize foreign students studying in the US? The H1B will probably have a greater effect on foreign enrolment than Trump’s previous policy of outright banning.
Definitely. it would completely destroy 90% of the motivation, as a huge draw is being able to work in the US tech industry. In the past, Chinese students did a wide variety of subjects in STEM, but in the past 10-15 years, I noticed a greatly narrowed focus onto CS and software. I don't think it is because of a huge interest in CS, but because CS reliably gave out H1Bs.

Not because of rise of Chinese giants like Huawei, Alibaba, Tencent, and Bytedance? From my experience, only those that can't get in tier 1 Chinese tech companies come to work in the US. The bar to get into those Chinese companies are much higher than US big tech.

Someone should seriously turn off his truth social. It’s not as if the world needs more proof that the USA is lead by a raging mad man.

Perhaps not undergrads if that's the limit of their interest in studying in the US, since most of those usually just want an education stepping stone before going back to their country. Masters and Ph.D programs for now though are absolutely nuked. People enrolling in those almost always have a long term goal of residing and working in the US. This will in turn also affect staffing, since many people in those programs become lecturers and assistant professors to help pay their tuition. As if universities weren't already suffering enough under the Trump admin.

This is a real time replay of what happened in early 20th Century Germany. Going from being the world leader in science with the best universities and 100 Nobels to its name, to throwing it all away for Nazism.
