Summary
The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday proposed a $70,000 fee for international students seeking to work in the United States, the latest effort from the Trump administration to crack down on foreign enrollment. According to Fortune, schools would pay the fee for each international student in the OPT work program, which is popular with international STEM graduates, and would also face a $30,000 renewal fee, as new foreign enrollment falls 17%. The change would represent a blow to universities that heavily recruit students from overseas as a source of tuition revenue, as well as companies that hire international students for technical roles.
