What avenues will Stanford's international students have to continue their education/career track if Stanford's international student program is terminated as I suspect it will be? I anticipate a lot of disruption to the lives of Stanford's international students, but are there ways to mitigate that disruption? For example, can students apply for one-off approval even if their school no longer has the authority to designate people for essentially automatic approval of a student visa? Thanks for any informed input.
While a number of schools have lost funding, Harvard is the only school involved in the escalating actions by the government due to Harvard's refusals to submit to the government's demands for oversight and control of Harvard's operations. Stanford is likely somewhere on the list and some international students may be dissuaded from attending Stanford this coming year, but I doubt Stanford will get a similar letter to today's letter from Noem to Harvard before September.
I would expect the frosh yield on international students to be lower this year, I would also expect some students would decide to continue their studies outside of the US.

If each school took in 100 students, the students could have a place to land and any vengence by the administration would have to be applied by shotgun.
the link below shows Stanford undergrad population is ~15% "international", assuming Harvard is about the same that would be ~1,100 undergrads (their undergrad population was ~7,100 last year). I would not expect any one University to take more than say 40-80 of these students, assuming ~50 you would need 22 Universities to step up.
