As Flow of Foreign Students Wanes, U.S. Universities Feel the Sting
Colleges have cut programs amid a drop in international enrollment tied to several factors, including more restrictive immigration policies.
Hasnain says:
"For years, American colleges had been staking their futures on continued growth in foreign students, and after the recession a decade ago, those students were a lifeline for colleges that had poured money into new buildings and amenities. In just the past six months, the University of Akron opened an international center in an existing building and hired 10 employees to work in international programming. The president, Matthew Wilson, said that students from India were reporting increased scrutiny of their visa applications, one of the reasons for a drop of about 200 international students.'
