🎓 Prestigious US Universities Shaken... Crisis on Talent, International Students, and Funding Sources
US universities are facing an unprecedented crisis as research funding cuts, tightened visa regulations, and a decline in international students overlap. As uncertainty in the research environment grows, world-renowned scholars are moving to Canada and Europe, and long-term stays for foreign researchers and international students are becoming increasingly difficult. In particular, concerns are rising that the influx of global talent heading to the US may shrink as policies limiting student visa stays to a maximum of four years and stricter regulations on post-graduation employment and internships are being pushed forward. The decline in international students is a direct blow to university finances. Major universities, including Harvard, are facing deficits and layoffs as spending by international students—which has generated significant service export effects for the U.S. economy in addition to tuition—has decreased, and government research funding has also been cut. Consequently, some universities are increasing withdrawals from endowments and expanding into highly liquid or high-risk investments such as tech stocks and cryptocurrencies. On top of this, the spread of AI has added the fundamental question of "what value can only be obtained from a university," putting the very competitiveness of U.S. higher education to the test.

얼마전까지만 해도 한국이 그런 케이스를 따라 가더만 미국이 이렇게까지 망가질 줄 몰랐다.
과학기술이 회전하는 걸 보면. 기초->응용->기술->산업->기초->응용->기술->산업을 무한히 반복한다. 그런데 재미있는 사실 한 가지는, 기초과학의 목적과 응용과학의 목적, 그리고 여기서 파생 된 산업기술의 목적이 완전히 다르다는거다.
기초과학은 “해당 연구가 돈이 될지 안 될 지” 관심이 없다. 왜? 어떻게? 무엇인데?를 해결하면 그만이다. 그리고 여기서 파생되는 응용들은 기초연구의 결과를 다른 분야에 어떻게 “응용”하는지를 연구하게 된다. 그리고 이 과정에서 “기술”들이 나오는데, 산업은… 이 기술들을 “돈 되는 산업”으로 바꾸는거다.
예를들어,
1985년, 일본 이화학 연구소는 대장균을 연구하다가 “정체를 알 수 없는 회문구조”를 발견하게 된다. 그리고, 이 구조가 뭔지 알기 위해 30여년가까지 여러 나라들의 연구소가 “이게 뭐냐?”가 궁금하다고 달려들엇다. 20여년이 조금 지난 2000년대 초반, “이거 세균에도 면역계가 있다고 하는 증거입니다.”가 밝혀졌고, 몇년 뒤.. “이 구조를 유전자 가위로 이용 할 수 있습니다.”라는 논문이 나온다. 이후.. 이게 산업계에서 캐시카우가 불리는 산업기술이 된다. 바로 “크리스커/캐스9”다.
기초과학: 세균의 회문구조가 뭔지 밝히는 연구, 그런데 이때는 이 구조가 유전자 가위로 쓰일 수 있다는 생각조차 하지못하던 상황
응용과학: 회문구조가 세균의 면역계임이 확인 된 이후, 이걸 “응용하는게 가능할까?”라는 연구들이 파생 됨. ,
기술: 이걸 “유전자 가위로 쓸 수 있다.”
산업: 정밀한 유전자 가위??? 저거 발전시키면 돈 된다.
딱 이 과정임. 그리고… 발전 된 유전자 가위는, 다시 “기초과학”으로 유입이 되어 새로운 기초연구를 탄생시키고, 새로운 기초연구는 다시 새로운 응용방법들을 연구하게 만들여, 새로운 응용은 다시 새로운 기술이 되고, 이 기술이 산업으로 흘러들어오면 “돈”이 되는거다.
그런데, 돈되는 과정, 산업의 효율성만 보게 되면. 기초와 응용부분은 “돈 먹는 하마”로만 보일 뿐, 아무 가치가 없다. 왜? 저 연구들은 말 그대로 “호기심과 호기심을 응용하는 단계”지. 저 단계에서 돈이 될지 안될지는 아무도 모르기 때문이다.
헌데, 이걸 내세워.. 기초와 응용을 홀대한다? 그렇게 되면 기술과 산업도 발달 할 수 없다. STEM, 사이언스, 테크놀러지, 엔지니어링, 매스매틱스…. 이걸 한데 묶은 이유다. 하지만 여기서 사이언스와 테크놀러지의 일부바 취하고, 엔지니어링만 키우겟다?/ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
이게 지금 트럼프가 하는 짓이다. 한국에선 윤석열이 했던 짓이고.. 그래서 기초과학자들, 사회학자들, 인문학자들이 미국을 탈출한다는 말이 나오는거다.
