my former state uni was suffering enrollment so bad that they reached out to HS students(not yet graduated) to give them a guaranteed enrollment if they do these kinds of requirements, when it was the usual : sat scores, 3.0etc.
before that happened they wre slashing classes, instructors(non tenured) raising tuition to cover the loss of thier cash cow, freshmans. the reason is combination of lack career help, and job prospect out of earning said degree.
biotech is pretty bad back 2016-present, i can imagine it worst for other stem degrees, Tech was flourishing around that time before covid. our school strangely hid "lab experience, under an obscure category so people wouldnt notice, and try to badger the PIs for seats in thier labs, apparent it was the most important part of your DEGREE before graduation.
and employers in the industry dont want to train a person at all, so they expect years of experience under your belt already.
i think cs majors have one of the highest unemployment amongst stem. biology/bio seems halfway, but i suspect its heavily skewed because people go into nurisng or another healthcare field.
Because enrollment is in structural decline due to demographic shift.
Bad reputation among working people due to cost and dubious results for about half of graduates.
Student loans reform is gonna hurt them the most though.

I’m assuming international students are staying far away from American universities at the current enrollment periods as well
it was bad before trumps win, for state unis in cali.
To some degree sure but Foreign Nepo babies going to haaavard and other elites schools ain’t changing.
At best state and mid grade private schools targeting the foreign “Middle” class will take a hit as these people go to other Anglo countries
As with everything, there is a club
our CC and state uni had alot of ME students, who often come from wealth, plus alot of soccer/football students tend to be from other countries too.
Yep degrees aren’t worth what they used to be. I regret mine really not worth it
