While universities have no choice but to comply, the ripple effect will be catastrophic on higher education. Most educators who can leave, will leave, and this will happen together with big tuition hikes since the money has to come from somewhere. Contributions will nose dive, since who wants to fund into an inevitable next Trump shakedown? All of this will create a doom loop. The best case is a greatly diminished higher education system. The worst case is major universities failing.
