Expected but still very upsetting. I should have known better than to let myself get excited for an opportunity I knew would be taken away.

This bill does enormous damage and has literally no upside. Faculty will leave or quit, enrollments will drop, out-of-state tuition will evaporate, programs will languish. For what? Some authoritarian turd polishing? So bleak.

Will millennials ever not be blamed everything?
