US: Drop in international students forcing HEI budget cuts - Patrick Atack, PIE News

According to the 2017 Open Doors paper published by IIE and the US Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, there has been a slowing of growth in international student numbers to the US, with an overall increase of just 3% compared to increases of 7-to-10% for the previous three years. The NYT reports that schools in the Midwest have been particularly hard hit, many of which had come to rely heavily on tuition from international students who generally pay more than in-state students. It found that drop in enrolments has accounted for $14 million in lost revenue and a decline of more than 1,500 international students from the previous year at the University of Central Missouri, alone. https://thepienews.com/news/us-drop-international-students-forcing-hei-budget-cuts/
