https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/t ... L2kA%3D%3D The Trump memo asks schools to cap international undergraduate enrollment at 15% Again there is a difference b/w a memo and executive order

The White House sent a 10-page agreement to selected schools asking them to opt in to Trump’s higher-ed agenda in exchange for preferential access to some federal funds and White House engagement (e.g., priority on certain grants, invitations). It’s framed as a deal/offer, not a mandate. The letters went to nine prominent private and public universities (e.g., USC, MIT, Brown, Vanderbilt, Penn, Texas, Arizona, Virginia, Dartmouth) as a pilot/pressure test on high-profile campuses. Reporting describes this as the opening round It’s voluntary, but even if funds aren’t formally cut off if you didn't sign, giving priority access to signers can change the competitive landscape. Memo says -Cap at 15%: International undergraduate enrollment may not exceed 15% of the student body. Cap at 5% per country: No more than 5% of students can come from a single foreign country.

Memo also warns universities went against trump and how they lost.... Columbia University: Agreed to pay $220 million to the U.S. government. Brown University: Agreed to pay $50 million to support local workforce development. Harvard University: Negotiating a potential settlement of $500 million. For MBAs, the compact doesn’t set a grad cap yet, but the ban on race/sex/ethnicity in admissions and the 5-year tuition freeze for U.S. students MAY apply institution-wide. The 15% international cap is undergrad-only for now, but given the 8+ recent moves targeting internationals, it wouldn’t be surprising if grad cohorts like MBAs are next.
