Everyday Americans don’t understand the experiences of international students in the U.S., their value to the country, or the nexus between education, global talent and immigration on which the future of the U.S. hinges. From RajikaBhandari:
estimate overall higher education enrollment in the US will decline by 15 percent and international enrollments will decline by 25 percent due to the pandemic, resulting in an estimated shortfall of $23 billion for U.S. institutions. The S&P Global has declared this a “History also shows us that the fear of the “other” emerges ever so often, whether as the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act or the rise of hate crimes against Asian Americans in 2021.
Yet it is exactly times like these, with growing nationalism and xenophobia, that underscore why America needs to keep its minds and doors open, where American students also learn from their international classmates. U.S. colleges and universities will recover from the pandemic, and the fall 2021 semester offers hope, but recovering from the damage of an unwelcoming environment will require more work.
Something more fundamental is at risk here: The very idea of America as a beacon, as a country of possibility. Along with its music, films and literature, a Made-in-America credential has been the strongest form of influence and soft power for the U.S., shaping the thinking of millions, many of whom have returned home to lead their countries, found American-style universities, and build ties with the U.S.
The attraction of an American classroom has held strong over the years, and it holds strong today. But will it persist in the future? That depends on America and whether it wants the world in its classrooms, streets and homes.
