I doubt they will have much problem finding people who are qualified to teach.

But it's going to make it more difficult to continue hiring people who are seen as some of the best in the world in in-demand areas.

There's some ambiguity there.

In my experience, it's not necessarily hard to find someone whose credentials match job requirements wrt. teaching. Finding a good teacher for an academic position can be quite hard though.
