Thursday

It's a small private liberal arts college without a graduate school or scientific research program (most federal funding is in the form of student loans and grants), but they are worried anyhow. I got an email today with a link to this: https://www.macalester.edu/president/messages/2025-04-04-federal-policy-changes-early-april-update/ They have hired an immigration lawyer to help international students and have advised them not to go home for the summer. It just amazes me that we have come to the point where an ordinary small college has to hire lawyers to protect its students from the federal government.
