This will be very bad for the public universities in these states. According to the preceding CHE article, the University of Florida had 131 such visas approved just in 2025; Texas A&M had 121 and UT Soutwestern (a major medical research center in Dallas) had 119. Any university strong in the natural and biological sciences is going to be appointing lots of foreign faculty and post-docs every year. At least for Texas, it may be possible to still get such visas with permission from the Workforce Commission and a showing that there were no qualified Texans who could have taken the position instead. If anyone has more information, feel free to post links.
