Across the country, international students are returning to a new normal on campus — as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement efforts. In part because of new restrictions on student visas and bans on citizens of certain countries traveling to the U.S., some students aren't returning to campus at all. Modeling from the National Association of International Educators projects a 30 to 40 percent decline in new international student enrollment this fall. The cost of that decline to Minnesota's economy is projected to be $77 million.Tuesday is the first day of classes at Macalester College in St. Paul. MPR News host Nina Moini caught up with President Suzanne Rivera about what she's been observing as students return to campus.

Families are writing universities directly to ask if it's safe to send their children to the United States. Institutions are also facing longer visa backlogs and growing competition from abroad. In this episode of the Changing Higher Ed® podcast, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Dr. Roger Douglas, Dean for International Programs and Development at St. Martin's University, about how leaders can strengthen international enrollment pipelines, improve retention, and protect graduate research capacity. Topics Covered: The 23-touchpoint recruitment model that keeps students and families engaged until they commit How graduate applicants often choose the first institution to deliver admissions and aid Families' growing concerns about campus safety and how institutions can respond Why outcome-driven marketing and peer-to-peer outreach build more trust than traditional tactics The effect of shrinking U.S. research funding on graduate student pipelines Retention strategies such as host family placements, faculty check-ins, and cultural immersion Three Key Takeaways for Leadership: Presidents and trustees should engage directly with international students to understand barriers and improve the climate. Retention investments—host families, advising, and cultural programming—are as critical as recruitment for revenue stability. Boards must integrate international enrollment into institutional strategy, requiring documented plans, outcome-based marketing, and active policy advocacy. Recommended For:  Presidents, trustees, enrollment leaders, and academic administrators responsible for sustaining institutional revenue, research, and reputation through international education.

The Trump administration's crackdown on both tertiary education and immigration is creating an uncertain environment for students in the United States, particularly international students.  It also comes as the administration has slashed research funding, rolled back protections for disadvantaged student groups, threatened lawsuits against colleges, dismantled the education department and more. For International Desk, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Yale Daily News' Andre Fa'aoso, about what it's like to be an international student in the United States right now. 

New hurdles by the Trump administration are unnerving some international students hoping to make it back to campus.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨Two young women, who were working at the Icelandic championships in Rallycross on Krýsuvík road on Saturday, were injured when one of the participating cars flipped over, upp a small hill, and ran them over. Their injuries were not reported as critical.✨An ATM was stolen in the Reykjavik suburb of Mosfellsbær on Tuesday. Two are in custody, a woman in her thirties and a man in his forties. Around 20 million ISK were in the ATM. The ATM was stolen with the help of an excavator, but the ATM itself is yet to be located, along with the cash.✨Last weekend saw both Culture Night happening in Reykjavík, and the annual Reykjavík Marathon with a record of over 16.000 participants. ✨A couple, living in Laugardalur, Reykjavík, woke up with a rat in their bed on Tuesday morning. The woman who lives whose apartment the rat raided, said that her partner had woken her up told her there was a rat in the house, asked her to take their kids outside, and then finished off the rat with a cutting board. An exterminator interviewed in relations to the story said it was very uncommon for rats do crawl into people beds, and said he'd only heard of two such cases in Iceland in the past 13 years.✨The Reykjavík Grapevine reported on trouble that international students were having with having their resident permits cleared with the Directorate of Immigration in Iceland. The explanation for this seems to be first, that there is a 40% increase in foreign students who've been admitted for University studies in Iceland, who need a resident permit to begin the studies. A third of the applications were submitted after a 1. June deadline, and the explanation for that is, that many students were only admitted by universities in late May, giving them a limited timeframe to get their residents permit applications in order.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

The rise in the numbers of Nepalis migrating to Japan in recent decades has been phenomenal — and I think overshadowed by movement to countries like the US, UK and Australia. Today the Asian country is by far the top destination for students going abroad to earn degrees and, in many cases, a path to settlement in the country. I doubt that you would ever guess that the origin of today's migration to Japan is colonial Britain's presence in Nepal's neighbour, India. I'll leave today's guest, visual anthropologist Dipesh Kharel, to draw out that thread for you. He says that the link has led to a current population of about 230,000 Nepalis in Japan — five times more than the number of Indian migrants. One sign of how fully settled they have become in their new country is that many women no longer return to Nepal to give birth. By the way, Dipesh mentions the Japanese currency, the yen, a couple of times. As of today, 1 Nepali rupee was worth 1.07 yen. ResourcesAbout Dipesh KharelNepali students' destinations (2023-24)Tell us how we're doing, or just say hiSupport the showYou can subscribe to Nepal Now for as little as $3 a month.

Navigating the path to US college sports can be complex, especially for international student-athletes who must balance intense training schedules with unfamiliar academic requirements like the SAT. Today's conversation is with British-born Woody Sandhu, founder of Brainee and former US collegiate rower at Florida Tech.Woody shares his remarkable story of going from a complete novice in rowing to earning a collegiate scholarship in just months. After being identified through a UK talent program and achieving an impressive sub 6:20 on his first-ever 2K erg test, he found himself scrambling to understand the US college recruitment process while juggling training and academics. His experiences highlight the unique challenges international student-athletes face – usually facing a disadvantage compared to their US counterparts when studying for the SAT.What makes Woody's perspective particularly valuable is how he transformed his challenges into solutions through founding Brainee, an SAT prep platform specifically designed for time-poor student-athletes. Unlike traditional prep methods that cater to American students with years of familiarity with standardised testing, Brainee employs AI tutoring, personalised analytics, and athlete-friendly strategies that recognise the unique constraints athletes face. The platform identifies specific weaknesses, predicts potential point gains from mastering particular topics, and even offers shortened diagnostic tests for those with limited time. We're thrilled to join forces with Brainee to supercharge the SAT journeys of our international student-athletes! This partnership means smarter prep, tailored support, and even greater results ahead!

【聊了什么】 特朗普政府与美国顶尖高校的对决全面升级。从大幅削减联邦拨款，到以“反犹”为名发起调查，再到撤销哈佛大学招收国际学生的SEVP资格，一系列“富有创意”的行政手段，让数万名国际学生和学者的命运悬于一线，也和可能彻底改变美国高校与联邦政府的关系。 这场风暴的背后，是共和党与精英教育长达十年的积怨，还是特朗普政府目标明确的政治策略？面对相似的压力，为何哥伦比亚大学选择“屈服”，而哈佛大学最终奋起反击？ 本期节目，我们与持续报道该事件的记者Ava一起，复盘这场震动美国高等教育界的冲突。 播客文字稿（付费会员专享）：https://theamericanroulette.com/trump-war-on-harvard-ivy-league-schools-transcript/ 本期节目录制于6月12日。据《纽约时报》6月21日报道，哈佛大学与特朗普政府本周重启谈判，试图解决双方激烈争议。在本周的白宫会议上，哈佛代表展示了学校在反犹主义、观点多样性和招生方面采取的措施，白宫随后发出信函列出了解决冲突的条件。尽管特朗普在社交媒体上声称「很可能在下周左右宣布协议」，但知情人士表示短期内达成协议的可能性不大。可能的协议框架包括政府恢复部分研究资金并停止法律行动，作为交换，哈佛需在反犹主义和观点多样性问题上采取更积极措施。哈佛官员表示，面对政府持续的资金削减和调查威胁，学校几乎别无选择只能寻求和解，尽管这可能招致支持者对其「妥协」的批评。白宫希望与哈佛的协议能成为其他精英大学与政府达成类似协议的框架。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:00:55 特朗普政府与美国精英高校的冲突全面升级 00:02:33 从“刘丽君”到撤销SEVP：特朗普政府如何对哈佛等高校步步紧逼？ 00:05:14 “哥大跪了，哈佛没跪”？——哈佛法律反击背后的策略与无奈 00:12:07 SEVP是什么？特朗普政府如何将移民法条文“武器化”？ 00:20:21 “教育极化”：共和党为何将精英高校视为“敌人”？ 00:28:48 从希望到麻木：留学生在政治风暴中的真实心态 00:30:55 “合法”与“非法”的距离：当有证移民一夜之间身份不保 00:46:57 薛定谔的身份：美国移民政策的高度技术性与“创意性”打击 01:00:06 美国最好的“出口产品”？——高等教育的价值与危机 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Lokin：美国法学院毕业生，即将成为一名纽约诉讼律师 小华：媒体人 曹起曈：青椒，政治行为研究者 Ava：记者，留子，卫报撰稿人 主播和嘉宾的言论不代表其所在机构或其雇主的观点。 【 What We Talked About】 The confrontation between the Trump administration and America's top universities has escalated. From drastic cuts to federal funding and launching investigations in the name of combating antisemitism, to revoking Harvard University's SEVP certification for enrolling international students, a series of "creative" administrative measures has left the fate of tens of thousands of international students and scholars hanging in the balance, and could fundamentally alter the relationship between American universities and the federal government. Behind this storm, is it a decade-long resentment from the Republican party towards elite education, or a calculated political strategy by the Trump administration? Faced with similar pressures, why did Columbia University choose to "surrender," while Harvard ultimately fought back? In this episode, we are joined by journalist Ava, who has been covering this story, to break down the conflict that has shaken the world of American higher education. Transcript (Paid Members Exclusive): https://theamericanroulette.com/trump-war-on-harvard-ivy-league-schools-transcript/ This episode was recorded on June 12. According to a June 21 report from The New York Times, Harvard University and the Trump administration have resumed negotiations this week to resolve their intense dispute. In a White House meeting this week, Harvard representatives presented the steps the school has taken on antisemitism, viewpoint diversity, and admissions, and the White House subsequently sent a letter outlining the conditions for resolving the conflict. Although Trump claimed on social media that an agreement is "likely to be announced sometime next week," sources familiar with the matter say a short-term deal is unlikely. A potential agreement framework could include the government restoring some research funding and halting legal actions, in exchange for Harvard taking more aggressive measures on antisemitism and viewpoint diversity. Harvard officials have stated that facing continuous funding cuts and the threat of investigations from the government, the university has little choice but to seek a settlement, even though this may draw criticism from its supporters for "compromising." The White House hopes that an agreement with Harvard can serve as a framework for similar deals with other elite universities. 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 00:00:55 The Trump Administration's Escalating Conflict with Elite U.S. Universities 00:02:33 From "Liu Lijun" to Revoking SEVP: How the Trump Admin Cornered Harvard and Other Universities 00:05:14 "Columbia Caved, Harvard Didn't"?

The Trump administration is clamping down on foreign students who want to attend American universities – and the schools that admit them. What that could mean for innovation and enterprise in the U.S. and around the world.

The US will begin revoking visas for Chinese students, including those in “critical fields” or with connections to the Chinese Communist Party. The US State Department has said this is to stop the exploitation of US universities and protect national security. Who is losing out in this latest development in US-China tensions?

Many international students are rethinking their education in the United States as the federal government revokes visas, often over minor infractions. A shift away could carry a heavy economic toll, as international students contributed $44 billion to the U.S. economy last school year. So what happens when a generation of bright-eyed scholars decide to forgo school in the U.S. and take their dollars elsewhere?Related episodes:Do immigrants really take jobs and lower wages?
