"The crackdown has included detaining foreign student activists, stripping students' SEVIS statuses and visas, implementing social media vetting processes, pausing new visa issuances, and seeking to limit students' length of stay in the country. Those efforts thus far appeared to have spurred a decline in the number of international students able to enroll and enter the country, according to an Inside Higher Ed analysis of fall enrollment data."
"International students, particularly at public institutions, typically pay more than their domestic peers in tuition, and this additional revenue can help offset cost of educating low-income or local students who pay less. A majority of the Ivy League institutions offer need-blind admissions to international students which, in essence, would eliminate bias toward a student who would receive more or less institutional aid."
Since January, the Trump administration implemented measures to limit international students, including detentions, SEVIS and visa revocations, social-media vetting, pauses in visa issuance, and restrictions on length of stay. Those actions correlated with a decline in international student enrollments and entries in fall data. The administration aimed at wealthy, selective colleges but largely failed to reduce their international enrollments. International students often pay higher tuition, generating revenue that can subsidize lower-paying or in-state students; many Ivy League schools offer need-blind admissions to internationals. Advocates warn enrollment declines would reduce college and state revenue and damage academic reputation, with projected economic losses from lower enrollments.
