What happened: International student enrolment in US colleges has declined significantly during the Trump administration. This trend affects not only elite institutions but a broad range of colleges.
Why it matters:
- Reduced international students impact college revenues and campus diversity.
- Both prestigious and smaller colleges face challenges in recruitment and funding.
MNN Take: Policies aimed at limiting international students have led to a widespread decrease in enrolment, affecting the financial and cultural landscape of US higher education.
