Students from some countries won’t make it to class this fall because of President Trump’s travel ban. Others can’t get visa appointments. Some are simply scared. Universities are panicking.
Many Iranians are not going to American universities this fall. Students from Afghanistan are having trouble getting to campus.
Even students from China and India, the top two senders of international students to the United States, have been flummoxed by a maze of new obstacles the Trump administration has set up to slow or deter people entering the country from abroad.
Between the federal government’s heightened vetting of student visas and President Trump’s travel ban, the number of international students newly enrolled in American universities seems certain to drop — by a lot.
There were about a million international students studying in the United States a year ago, according to figures published by the State Department. Data on international student enrollment is not expected to be released until the fall. But higher education is already feeling the pain and deeply worried about the fallout.
Many schools have seen the number of international students grow in recent years. But a survey of over 500 colleges and universities by the Institute of International Education, a nonprofit which works with governments and others to promote international education, found that 35 percent of the schools experienced a dip in applications from abroad last spring, the most since the pandemic.

more winning
And this is a priblem?
More American kids, or fewer university professors. Win either way.
YAY!!!
They report this like it’s a bad thing....LOL
So what??? Maybe the schools could lower their prices for US Citizen students and spend a little of their enormous endowments? Maybe the professors could take a pay & benefits cut? Maybe they could fire many of the extremely worthless “administrators”? Maybe they could stop funding DEI and other WOKE BS administrators and programs? Maybe?
I wish I still drank beer so I could have one to cry in for the Universities.
The NYT writes this as if we’ll all read and share their outrage.
