American universities are exporters when they earn revenue from foreign students. Making it harder for foreign students to come here is like putting a trade barrier on yourself.

How to explain this to the lay public? The reason to be skeptical that these tariffs will lead to long-term structural changes in our economy is that Trump cannot credibly commit that these tariffs will remain for long.

If you're a university employee, speak up now. Don't wait until this administration comes for you (and don't think you can appease them into not coming for you).

Yesterday was Pi day. Celebrating it is a great opportunity to get kids excited about math. The connections with music are a great topic for all age groups. Younger students can measure and represent tempo, rhythm and pitch.

Kudos to Dean Karlan and his team for their valiant efforts to improve the cost-effectiveness of foreign aid. We'll find a way to continue this important work together.
