How Trump’s H-1B fee proposal puts Yale’s tenure-track faculty hiring at risk
President Trump’s new rule imposing a $100,000 fee per H-1B visa could cost Yale University over $20 million annually, jeopardizing its ability to hire international tenure-track faculty. With Yale sponsoring around 200 H-1Bs yearly, the policy threatens research and teaching capacity. Universities may be forced to explore alternatives like O-1 visas, reshaping international faculty recruitment strategies.
