Will Trumps election affect international student acceptance rates?

The Trump administration announced on Friday that it had canceled $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University, an extraordinary step that it said was necessary because of what it described as the school’s failure to protect Jewish students from harassment.

How will this likely to affect the 2 Columbia’s Quant Master Program if any? From what I know the grants normally affect the phd research funding mainly.

Theoretically, Columbia's endowment could fill in this gap pretty easily, but not sure if they will spend it.

I don't think this has much of an affect on the MFEs. Sure costs could go up, but they are already kind of robbing students blind.

I imagine this will temporarily kill a lot of research grants, Columbia should really step in and pick up the tab.

Here are the list of 60 universities that get the letter from DOE about their funding cut. Not everyone has endowment the size of Columbia and it seems everyone is very afraid of the administration.
