These 25 US universities face a talent drought: How Trump’s H-1B visa overhaul is to blame

Twenty-five leading US universities are facing a critical talent shortage due to President Trump’s overhaul of the H-1B visa programme. A new $100,000 fee and rule changes favouring older applicants threaten international graduate student recruitment and hiring of foreign-born academics. Institutions like Stanford, Columbia, and Michigan are among the hardest hit. Legal action is underway, but uncertainty remains. According to Forbes, experts warn this could reshape the future of US research and academia.
