These are HEPI estimates of the 20 institutions affected: I think this illustrates the impact if the tariff is absorbed in full by institutions.
What share of the 6% tariff different universities may try to pass on to fees - or the impact might be on demand if they did - is not publicly known.

Two more images by Sha Fei (沙飞) - early 1940s. Sha Fei was one of the first Chinese photojournalists. Working with the Eighth Route Army in the late 1930s and 1940s, he produced some of the earliest frontline images of the Communist war against Japan.

Fishing junk on the West River (Xijiang), southwestern China, c.1935 by TC Lau. The “stone island” behind was created by the fishermen to attract fish swimming upstream. They stand on the island casting their nets to catch the loitering fish.

John Shiwak was an Inuk soldier with the Newfoundland Regiment (later Royal Newfoundland Regiment).
Considered one of the best snipers of the war, he never made it back home.

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

And it's often the best students who are most afraid to fail
“Students are afraid to fail, and AI presents itself as a savior. But what we learn from history is that progress requires failure. It requires reflection. Students are not just undermining their ability to learn, but to someday lead.”
To “my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.
