Without international students, many US colleges may vanish: How it happens and who's most at risk

A National Foundation for American Policy report warns that many US colleges could shut down without international students and immigrants. Falling birth rates and stricter immigration policies are shrinking student populations, especially in smaller, regional institutions. Financial pressures and declining enrolment threaten academic programmes and faculty jobs. Visa restrictions and proposed cuts to post-study work options further impact future enrolments. The report stresses that immigrants and their children are essential to sustaining US higher education, as reported by Forbes.
