    Times of India's Lakshima Sareen on which Big .EDU presidents and
    deans does Linda McNahon's Ed.GOV higher ed economists predict will
    face haircuts should they lose priority access to H-1B scab workers: <URL:https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/us-plans-to-scrap-h-1b-exemption-for-universities-will-foreign-students-be-the-first-to-go/articleshow/122897783.cms>
    | For students pursuing advanced degrees in the United States, think
    | PhDs, postdocs, and even teaching assistants, the path has long
    | followed a predictable arc: arrive on an F-1 student visa, work
    | under Optional Practical Training (OPT) after graduation, and then
    | transition into the H-1B visa through a university or research
    | institution.
    | Unlike tech companies, universities were exempt from the H-1B cap,
    | allowing them to sponsor skilled foreign workers year-round, without
    | the uncertainty of a lottery.
    | This exemption didn't just help universities, but it helped students
    | plan futures. It gave them hope that their years of study and
    | research could translate into careers in U.S. classrooms and labs.

    Has Susie Wiles warned Donald Trump that he will lose House.GOV to
    Hakeem Jeffries for not delivering scab workers for Big .EDU presidents
    and deans?
