Fewer foreign students, fewer dollars: US colleges feel the pinch
U.S. colleges face financial strain from a 30 percent drop in international students, driven by restrictive visa policies and federal funding cuts, officials and experts say.
- On Tuesday, DePaul University said it will immediately cut spending following a fall drop in international enrollment, with Robert Manuel proposing a hiring freeze, pay cuts, and spending limits.
- The Trump administration's policies have disrupted foreign student enrollment this year, with universities blaming tightened student visas and a U.S. State Department rule requiring public social media for vetting.
- This month, Department of Homeland Security's Student and Exchange Visitor Program data show international students fell from 965,437 to 942,131, with first-year international graduate students dropping nearly 62 percent.
- NAFSA's estimates show that this year, international student numbers could drop by up to 15 percent, with universities already cutting jobs and budgets, including Johns Hopkins' over 2,000 layoffs.
- On Wednesday, the Trump administration asked universities to agree to an international undergraduate enrollment cap of 15 percent, while some prospective international students defer admission amid visa uncertainty and funding concerns.
