Thanks, Senator Faruqi. No, I don't believe so. I think what that goes to is the thorough process that we went through with regard to the international student numbers. That bill was worked on for months by the committee. A substantial report and amount of work was put into it. It's really disappointing that those who participated in it still chose to oppose that bill, which we think was an important one for universities in this country.
