Honestly not sure. I know there's fewer foreign students on campus right now than there normally are. That said, I'm not sure that the foreign student population is enough to have the major impact they're having with the dining halls.
I know other areas of campus have similar issues. Heck, we're trying to hire a general IT support student. I don't think we've gotten a single application for it. Normally we'd at least get some, even if some of them are laughably unqualified to do the work. (Course, for that position, it might fall more into my general observation that the current generation of undergraduate students have lost any and all technical abilities to use anything other than an ipad for anything. That's a completely different conversation though.)
