Columbia's administration obviously has no issues silencing free speech and dissent based on their actions though.

Seems like it could mean death for Columbia as a desirable college honestly

Probably not, they'll just pump up international student numbers to recoup and basically gut the domestic student experience. There's near infinite demand for American universities overseas even now.

I think you're wrong. I know several bright students that have decided to not go to the US now given the persecution and targeting of international students.

You can't expect the brightest minds to study in an authoritarian country.

Intl students are not mad. Who is going to pay the US intl student premium, to add the Columbia tag. Intl students are paying for very specific future life paths.
