Fewer foreign students, fewer dollars: U.S. colleges feel the pinch

By Kaylee Kang, Jaimi Dowdell and Helen Coster (Reuters) -DePaul University has told faculty it will immediately reduce spending following a 30% decline in international enrollment this fall. The move is the latest by U.S. colleges to cope with the disruptive education and immigration policies of President Donald Trump.  The amount of the reduction is to be determined, but measures could include a hiring freeze, executive pay cuts and discretionary spending limits, university president Robert Manuel wrote in a memo to faculty on Tuesday. Overall international enrollment at the private Catholic university in Chicago decreased by 755 students compared to last year, Manuel said. The number of first-year international graduate students fell at an even steeper pace  — by nearly 62%. DePaul enrolled some 21,000 students last year, about 2,500 of them from abroad.  Manuel attributed this year’s decline to students having difficulty getting visas and losing interest in studying in the U.S. following changes in federal policy.  DePaul is among dozens of schools that have announced budget cuts in response to Trump administration policies …
