Horsepooky. I don't believe a word of it.
The educational system says they are losing billions and people are being laid off because international students are avoiding the US. .... Yada-yada-yada; "feel unsafe"; "rhetoric from current administration"; "enrollment is down"; and my favorite: For every seven international students, three US jobs are created or supported by spending in sectors including higher education, accommodations, dining, retail, and transportation
That's the stupidest statement I have ever read. How much are these international clowns paying, anyway??!!
It's nonsense.
There are some people who look at college as a joke and won't care. Some will see this and say "who cares? College is a waste of time". Some will see it as "we don't want any foreigners here, so whatever".
Yep, college is largely worthless anymore and I for one, don't see the need for any more foreigners. So that industry loses money....meh...
universities are nothing more than big business who the democrats fund .
about time they were treated as big business and have the free ride provided by taxpayers via democrat party come to a screeching halt.
Consider the culture on college campuses, the murder rate by gangs and a few mass shootings. Big cities like Detroit and Chicago Atlanta, Newark nj, Camden nj, san fran, overrun with illegal aliens. What rich foreign family wants to endanger their kid?
the democrats continue to spread fear and hate, so who would want to come to the US?
Obama set the tone and did his best to divide the country and incite violence with the lies of charlotte and furgeson.
In your own damn article it says the decline began in the fall of 2016.
Are you aware that Trump was not president at that time????
2016 is when the rest of the world learned just how racist and messed up this country is.
Trump might not have been president yet but his vast support among the right-wing was still telling to the potential foreign students. If you are one, why would you risk going to US instead of other countries?
Lol, yea, scaring away students from countries who are rather brutal and totalitarian.
Look at the top three who send students to the US; China, India, Saudi Arabia...and you (and them) have the nerve to talk about Trump's rhetoric?
For the same reason Chicagoans would opt for a sunny warm place to travel to.
1. Why would the students go to a new country if it's still the same old fascist system as back home? They may as well just stay.
2. there are other countries competing for those students, you know. Why come to the US when Canada, Australia, Britain, etc are offering sane environment?
There's a perception among international students that getting a visa for the United States is more difficult, and they increasingly feel unsafe in America, NAFSA survey data show.
"It's not only the anti-immigrant rhetoric being expressed by this administration, there's also increasing concern with regard to gun violence in this country," said Banks. "There's been a number of shootings and that gets reported worldwide, and parents certainly take all of this into account when they are thinking about where they want to send their children to study."
According to the article, the students apparently say visas are more difficult, and there's too much gun violence.
Didn't see anything about Trump rhetoric there from the students... that was the educator's take.
You did see it, but chose to omit it. Its is mentioned as the prime reason, and obviously even the tightening of student visas goes right back to Trump's door step.
Oh, so you are saying that Trump is responsible for the current economic condition of the United States?
The article says what it says and that wasn't it.
What's the point of re-wording stuff and then say "so, you're saying _____________" (<=== insert fake claim)?
